We are improving in areas such as the use of recycled materials in certain products and services that are part of our flight experience, the use of FSC-certified paper, the reduction of single-use plastics, and digitalization. On this page, you can take a closer look at the sustainability-focused choices we’ve made in the products and services you may encounter during your flight.
For the safety cards, emergency exit passenger information cards, and in-flight entertainment system information cards provided on the aircraft, we use polypropylene—a material with a lower specific gravity—instead of PVC. Manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene, these cards are part of our product improvements aimed at reducing plastic waste.
