London-based design studio PriestmanGoode has created a concept that could help limit the waste and carbon footprint linked to air travel.
The studio has constructed a collection of compostable trays, containers and utensils to counteract the impact that inflight dining has on the environment.
According to Simple Flying, commercial flights generate an estimated 5,7 tonnes of waste each year and the company’s innovative designs could significantly reduce the amount that ends up in landfills.
The trays and food containers are made from fully biodegradable and partially edible materials, such as coffee grounds, husks and wheat bran.
The eco-friendly drinking cups have been created using a combination of soluble seaweed, banana leaves and rice husks, and its refillable water bottle is made of cork and bioplastic, while utensils have been replaced with a single ‘spork’ made of coconut wood.
