LATAM ending all single-use plastics by 2023

Sunday, 23 Jun, 2022 0

LATAM has pledged to end 100% of single-use plastics used by 2023.

This pledge will be achieved by changing onboard materials, incorporating more sustainable elements, and with the group’s recycling and reuse programs.

To date, gradual changes have been implemented inside the aircraft.

All international flights now have reusable bags to cover the rest items in the Premium Business cabin.

New travel kits were also recently launched for passengers in Premium Business, which have more sustainable elements such as bamboo toothbrushes and craft paper wrappers.

In the Economy cabin, important changes will be announced in the coming weeks aboout the materials used for all elements of service (glasses, cutlery, tableware), which will be replaced with reusable and/or recyclable materials.

In the short term, this initiative will eliminate more than 1,000 tons of single-use plastics.

“The proposed goals have challenged us to rethink the design, materiality, and protocols of our onboard service,” said Paulo Miranda, Vice President of Customers at LATAM Airlines Group.

In addition, LATAM is focusing on recycling and reusing.

On domestic flights in Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, LATAM is operating the “Recycle Your Trip” program, through which cabin crews separate plastic and aluminium onboard.

In Colombia, this separation takes place on the ground.

These initiatives are part of LATAM’s sustainability strategy, goals of which include achieving zero waste to landfill by 2027, and offsetting 50% of domestic emissions by 2030

It aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
