Since 2023, major airlines such as Delta Air Lines(1), Alaska Airlines, and Southwest Airlines have announced the elimination of single-use plastic cups, replacing them with innovative paper cup solutions.
This shift represents a strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and a major upgrade in onboard packaging standards.
Our PLA paper cups combine sustainability with brand value. They are fully customizable to reflect airline identity and are compostable, making them an ideal choice for airlines seeking environmentally responsible, regulation-ready, and premium inflight packaging solutions.
🏢 More Eco-friendly and Less Pollution
By reducing millions of plastic cups each year, airlines are making a meaningful impact on protecting our planet.
🚉 International Plastic Regulation
Another key driver behind this transition is the variation in international plastic regulations, which requires airlines to adopt solutions that can be recycled or composted wherever facilities are available.
🏭 Not All Paper Cups are Recyclable
Traditional PE-coated paper cups are difficult to recycle, limiting their environmental benefits. In contrast, PLA (plant-based) or water-based coated paper cups offer a more eco-friendly alternative, as they are designed to fully biodegrade under proper composting conditions.
