Air NZ plastic trial

aiR New Zealand is piloting new eco-serviceware on board international Economy cabin flights as part of an ongoing push to phase out single-use plastics.

Alternatives in the trial include two different casserole dish materials, bagasse and rotable plastic, as well as the introduction of birchwood cutlery.

“Our Future Aircraft Cabin Experience (FACE) program has been in motion for a number of years...COVID-19 has given us a chance to accelerate some of that work,” the carrier said.
