While it might still be some time before we’re racking up frequent flyer points again, the travel industry is making waves with innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact. Did you know that air travel alone generates 5.7 million tonnes of cabin waste every year?
Thankfully, some ground-breaking products are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
1. Zero Eco Meal Tray Concept
The Zero Eco Meal Tray Concept was a finalist for the Crystal Cabin Award 2020, and for good reason. This revolutionary tray is made from materials that are biodegradable, compostable, and even edible!
Not only does it drastically reduce single-use plastic waste, but its sleek, modern design makes it both practical and appealing for travellers on the go. Perfect for eco-conscious backpackers and frequent flyers alike, this concept is a shining example of how innovation can meet sustainability.
2. Laundry-Free Linens by Beantown
Say goodbye to traditional hotel sheets and hello to Beantown’s Laundry-Free Linens. These eco-disposable bed sheets are made from super-soft botanic materials, biodegrade quickly, and are responsibly sourced.
Designed to save water and reduce energy consumption, these linens can be used for a few days or weeks and then simply discarded. A win for sustainability, though perhaps not for thread-count enthusiasts!
3. The Green Box for Hotels
Amenity kits are often overlooked until you need them, but they can play a significant role in reducing waste. Enter the Green Box, a solution designed to help hotels transition to a circular economy.
Made from compostable plastic, the Green Box encourages guests to dispose of their waste responsibly with its colour-coded system:
- Green for compostable waste.
- White for general waste.
Not only does it reduce single-use plastics, but it also empowers guests to participate in sustainability efforts during their stay.
