22 January, 2020

Transavia France, via its official YouTube and Twitter and accounts, announced (21/22-Jan-2020) it successfully transitioned to plastic-free operations onboard its aircraft. Plastic products have been replaced with sustainable alternative solutions such as products made from polylactic acid, bamboo cutlery, BioPBS drinking cups and FSC certified paper bags for onboard purchases. The airline estimates around seven million plastic items will be removed from distribution p/a, equating to around 41 tonnes p/a. Further steps in 2020 include selective recycling to reuse products thrown away by passengers.
