LNER has been re-certified as a Zero Waste to Landfill company.
The achievement means 100 per cent of waste from its stations, offices, and Aberdeen train depot is either recycled or converted into energy.
Last year, LNER collected 1,414 tonnes of waste from 11 managed stations, offices, and its depot, with 1,273 tonnes coming from stations.
This includes waste from trains arriving at those stations.
Caitlin Bent, environment manager at LNER, said: "Travelling by train with LNER is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel, with the majority of our 200 train services per day using electric power to carry millions of customers each year across the East Coast Main Line and beyond.
"However, as a business, we are proud to do much more than that to have a positive impact on our planet."
Cleaning teams on board LNER trains collect rubbish such as cups, wrappers, cans, and crisp packets.
At Newcastle, Doncaster, and Peterborough stations, waste is sorted by hand at dedicated hubs to ensure proper recycling.
In a further effort to cut waste, LNER has replaced bottled still water with cold water points in its First Class lounges at Doncaster and Newcastle.
