Vistara says no to plastic. Airline sets target to remove usage of 200m plastic water bottles

Vistara goes green as the carrier is mulling to remove the usage of 200m plastic water bottles from its flights. With an aim to reduce the usage of plastic and single-use plastic, Vistara has implemented an initiative on Delhi-Mumbai flights July 16. The initiative will be extended to all flights across the airline’s network. Under this initiative, Vistara will serve mineral water in environment-friendly paper cups instead of providing Economy Class customers with plastic bottles. Vistara has fixed a target of reducing single-use plastic usage up to 50%. Vistara has said that eliminating the use of bottled water is a major challenge. It cited the non-availability of non-plastic alternative for individual units of water as the reason. <br/>
