SIA to increase inflight sustainability efforts
SIA is stepping up its inflight sustainability initiatives, by introducing new efforts to reduce food waste and cutting back on plastic products. At the SIA’s World Gourmet Forum, the carrier said it would introduce automated data collection, artificial intelligence and machine learning to better predict customers’ consumption patterns and further reduce cabin food waste. SIA said that food product waste varies depending on the flight and passenger profile, but with the data on hand, it can adjust portions served accordingly. The carrier also aims to be plastic straw-free by Sept 2019, by replacing children drinking straws with paper straws, which is the only plastic straw product left. SIA said the changes will reduce about 820,000 plastic straws each year. In additional, the airline plans to replace all plastic swizzle sticks to wooden ones. <br/>
