Since November 2019, the New Nordic by SAS cube on short-haul flights has been transformed with a new design minimizing the use of oil-based plastic. The former inside plastic container has been replaced by an FSC-approved paper one that has a plastic coating and a plastic lid made from organic plant-based plastic.
The cutlery kits, wrapped in a paper napkin made from recycled material, are made of plant-based plastic and are adapted to each meal to minimize use of resources, meaning that each piece of cutlery is offered only if needed.
The new and more sustainable cube is just one change in our offering onboard. Step by step, all material used will become more sustainable, so there are plenty more initiatives to come.
