Qantas and Jetstar will ditch paper boarding passes and switch to a purely digital system this year in a bid to cut down on paper waste.
The bold change was announced by Qantas Group this morning as it revealed plans to become the first airline in the world to reuse, recycle and compost at least 75 per cent of its waste by the end of 2021.
Single-use plastics will be replaced with “alternative packaging”, coffee cups will be recycled or composted, old crew uniforms will be recycled and more food will be composted or donated as part of other changes to be implemented this year.
Operational manuals will also go digital, along with boarding passes.
The changes will be made across Qantas, its regional arm QantasLink and Jetstar.
Qantas Group chief executive officer Alan Joyce unveiled the plans as the company delivered its half-yearly results. read more..
