The compostable, paper based BIOPAP\u00ae ATLAS hot meal casserole sets a new milestone in carbon footprint reduction for the airline catering.<\/p>\n
INNOV HUB, the prominent Italian laboratory has just performed a Cradle-to-Grave LCA assessment on the innovative and compostable BIOPAP ATLAS SI 25 Hot meal casserole comparing it to the traditional Aluminium casserole.<\/p>\n
The result is groundbreaking: BIOPAP ATLAS offers 2,5 times less CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
The impact is massive: The\u00a0replacement of existing Aluminium casserole<\/strong>\u00a0with the innovative BIOPAP\u00ae\u00a0SI25 casserole will allow a saving of 35.6 KgCO2\u00a0emissions\u00a0per<\/em>\u00a01.000 units. Considering an annual distribution of 40.000.000 units the saving would correspond to 1.424.960 KgCO2\/year.<\/p>\n As far as CO2\u00a0emissions are concerned, this value corresponds approximately to the average CO2\u00a0emissions of 11.874.667 km using a medium-sized car.<\/p>\n If we take into consideration the average absorption of a tree in a year (about 7,5 kg CO2<\/sub>\/year), this value is equivalent to the CO2<\/sub>\u00a0absorption of 189.995 trees\/year.<\/p>\n The combination of high engineering design and automated manufacturing combined with 20 years\u2019 experience in sustainable and compostable food packaging solutions has delivered this outstanding result. BIOPAP\u00ae ATLAS SI 25 hot meal casserole has been specifically designed to best perform in airline catering offering natural touch and feel and superior food passenger experience while offering also a smooth waste management turning waste into valuable resources through composting both food rests and BIOPAP\u00ae casseroles.<\/p>\n By using BIOPAP\u00ae\u00a0ATLAS SI 25 casserole the airlines are directly benefiting form a significant carbon food print reduction in their operation and contribute to reduce the catering environmental impact, becoming fully circular. A growing number of Airports are starting and running own composting plants reducing greenhouse gas emissions but also creating a virtuous cycle with the neighbouring agricultural activities.<\/p>\n BIOPAP\u00ae\u00a0Atlas hot meal tray is a powerful tool: OK compost Home, BPI and CIC certified, with a fully European supply chain based on renewable raw materials coming only from well-manged PEFC certified forests.<\/p>\n Scaling up BIOPAP\u00ae\u00a0ATLAS SI 25 is easy, it can be directly used on existing automated high speed crimping lines.<\/p>\n With the up-coming WTCE fair in Hamburg, next week, this is going to be a key factor in discussions for the Airlines and more and more for the Airport Authorities also. Turn airline catering sustainable and circular.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\t\t
