Plastic-free airlines
Some airline companies are starting to implement plastic waste free flights by using reusable cups and cutlery, and more sustainable materials etc. The first airline is Hi Fly – a wet lease and charter specialist operating worldwide, operated by one Portuguese and one Maltese airline – but others are also joining the movement.
As part of an integrated materials management strategy, Hi Fly makes a deliberate decision about prevention, reuse, generation, source separation, recovery, collection, transfer, recycling, treatment and disposal of materials. Since January 2020, none of Hi Fly’s own flights have any single-use plastic items on board as a result of a collaboration with the Mirpuri foundation.
