Waste Reduction Takes Flight

Waste Reduction Takes Flight

Welcome onboard Cathay Pacific which is cutting its use of single-use plastics in its cabins. And when it comes to in-flight dining in economy class, there are four big changes: paper cups instead of plastic, reusable container lids, metal cutlery, and even trays are recycled into new ones. Plastic bottles on board Cathay’s flights inbound to Hong Kong are collected and sent for recycling as well.
 
Sometimes, innovative recycling completely reinvent items in ways we never expected, leaving us truly amazed. Who can imagine plastics can be transformed into soft blankets?
 
In fact, these recycled plastic bottles can be made into many different types of products. Let us take you on a tour at New Life Plastics Ltd (a joint venture Swire Coca-Cola takes part in) and see how plastic bottles are reborn!
