TULIPS accelerates the implementation of innovative and more sustainable technologies to reduce emissions at airports.
TULIPS is a consortium led by Schiphol dedicated to developing innovations that facilitate the transition to low-carbon mobility and enhance sustainability at airports over the next four years. Supported by €25 million in EU funding, the TULIPS project began in January 2022 and will continue until December 2025 and beyond. The consortium aims to accelerate the roll-out of sustainable technologies in aviation, significantly contributing to zero-emissions and zero-waste airports by 2030 and climate-neutral aviation by 2050. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is lighthouse airport and will serve as the proving ground for 17 demonstrator projects resulting from this collaboration.

On March 6th, Schiphol and TULIPS welcomed fourteen airports, airlines, and circular economy experts for a mini-conference on ‘Circularity in Airports’. This event focused on reducing and reusing cabin waste and waste streams from the terminal. Additionally, the reuse of construction materials was discussed. We need to move away from linear waste systems at airports, which cause more emissions.
