Air Europa ditches 1,000kg of waste packaging from its Business kits

Air Europa claims it will cut 1,000kg of waste each year after ditching plastic packaging from its new Business class kit and replacing it with recyclable and ecofriendly materials.

Created with Kaelis, the bag contains a set of environmentally-certified cosmetics from The Rerum Natura – a cosmetic collection based on pure botanical essential oils, and using ecofriendly packages.

The Doypack bags have a recycled plastic closing system and include facial cream, hand cream and a moisturising and revitalising cream for tired legs. All are packaged in sustainable stand-up pouches. There is also a lip balm from Pryja, travel socks, shoe bag, earplugs, eye mask, toothbrush and paste.

The airline has switched away from plastic glasses and cutlery, as well as having reusable tablecloths and cloth napkins.
