Air New Zealand has set itself the goal of “completely removing their cups from landfills.”
And now, along with cups made from paper and cornstarch, which have completely supplanted plastic cups since October 2019, the company is trying to serve coffee drinks in edible cups.
These cups are made from the Italian biscotti recipe. And the family company Twiice supplies the airlines with these delicious cups, agroportal.ua reports with reference to buyingbusinesstravel.com.ru.
The recipe for the cup contains the following ingredients: wheat flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla essence and natural vanilla extract. However, allergy sufferers should be aware that cups contain gluten and may also contain traces of dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts and sesame seeds.
Twiice assures that the cups are airtight and will not sag until the coffee is finished. Cookie caps are not provided.
Coffee in cups, which can then be eaten like regular cookies, is served at the airline lounges in Auckland and on some flights through Tasman (New Zealand region). Air New Zealand notes that the airline serves more than 8 million cups of coffee annually and expects to reduce waste with the launch of this initiative.
“Yes, they are compostable, but our ultimate goal is to completely remove our cups from landfills,” said Nicky Chave, Senior Account Manager at Air New Zealand. “Therefore, we will continue to test Twiice edible cups and work with other partners to explore the scalability of such projects.”
Recall that earlier we talked about a startup that removes caffeine from coffee, as well as how many cups of coffee you can drink per day.
