Closing the loop for trays in Economy Class
In an effort to expand our plastic recycling efforts, this year we worked closely with our equipment supplier DeSter and collected over 47,000 damaged and substandard trays. These trays were returned to the production factory where plastic materials were broken down into chips, melted and injected into the production of new trays in Economy Class, which contain about 25% recycled material to ensure product quality. By embracing the circular economy concept, we can effectively prolong the lifespan of the plastic materials used in our equipment and created a more sustainable solution moving forward.
