Get Onboard

21/08/19

We are pleased to announce our exhibition ‘Get Onboard: Reduce.Reuse.Rethink’ at the Design Museum in London from 12 September.

The exhibition explores the issue of waste in travel. Each year, an estimated 5.7 million tonnes of cabin waste is generated on passenger flights, from single-use plastic to meal trays and earphones. Here, we look at how developments in eco materials, initiatives from suppliers and changes in consumer behaviour could transform our experience across all transport modes and lead us to a more sustainable industry.

The exhibition runs from 12 September 2019 to January 2020.
