Air New Zealand trials edible coffee cups to reduce waste

Air New Zealand has begun trialling vanilla-flavoured edible coffee cups for customers in the air in a bid to reduce waste.
Customers both on flights and on the ground will be served their coffee in the leakproof cups that double as an edible dessert bowl.

The airline currently serves more than eight million cups of coffee each year, and so far the cups have been a hit with the customers, according to Air New Zealand customer experience manager Niki Chave.

Air New Zealand recently switched to plant-based cups that are compostable but the company one day wants to completely remove all cups from landfills.
S

witching to plant-based cups is expected to prevent around 15 million cups from going to landfill annually.
