Air India Minimizes Single-Use Plastic By Approx. 80%

In preparation for Earth Day, Air India announces minimized single-use plastic usage by approximately 80% on board all flights across its worldwide network.

The reduction has been achieved since the privatization of Air India in an ongoing effort led by a team of in-house experts and supported by catering partners and multiple vendors.

Several initiatives by Air India include 100% removal of 500ml plastic water bottles from all economy class seat pockets on widebody aircraft operating international flights; reduction in the bulk uplift of 200ml water bottles on flights, now only served on pre-set meal trays; introduction of water pour service from 1 litre water bottles during flight, 100% compostable PET lids, reusable linen bags on board and primary-use plastic bags, and 100% compostable waste bags; Replacement of plastic zip lock bags for cutlery, plastic straws with paper straws, plastic stirrers with wooden ones.

The airline is working towards introducing paper cutlery for Economy Class guests soon, apart from pursuing multiple other opportunities that would further reduce the usage of single-use plastic.
