Aviation needs to become more sustainable, as swiftly as possible, and a key part of this work is reducing the environmental impact within the cabin. From lighter weight seats and structures, to recyclable materials, to reducing the amount of water the aircraft needs to carry, every kilogram adds up to an aircraft potentially tonnes lighter… and needing to burn less fuel.

We discuss how the industry is making the cabin more sustainable, including new fully chemically recyclable MONOVA seat cover Daniel and Elina are working on (alongside Botany and Sabeti Wain), key takeaways from this summer’s RedCabin Aircraft Cabin Innovation Summit, and much more.
