Air New Zealand has recently trialed replacing single use coffee cups with edible cups. The edible cups are vanilla flavored and leak proof, so what’s not to love here? AirNz currently serves an estimated 8 million coffees per year, so this would make a huge difference if implemented fleet wide. The airline is helping pave the way for sustainability in the airlines and has already swapped out single use plastic cups for plant based cups for all its beverages (not just coffee). This substitute has saved a around 15 million cups per year from going to landfills, but why not take it one step further? Go AirNZ!
