PUNE: Kuwait’s low cost carrier Jazeera Airways recently introduced sustainable food service ware on all flights across its network of 64 destinations.
By changing from plastic cutlery to 100% biodegradable spoons, forks, knives and napkins, Jazeera reduces 300 kilograms of plastic on its flights each month. The cutlery manufactured by Dubai based Palmade® is made from natural materials including leaves of the date palm trees. All of these materials are certified biodegradable and compostable. Earlier in the year, Jazeera also switched from plastic stirrers to wooden ones as a part of its sustainable practices, airline officials said.
The airline is the first low cost carrier in the Middle East to switch from plastic to eco-friendly food service ware in-flight, officials claimed.
