Eco-Friendly Innovations
If you subscribe to Onboard Hospitality, this month you’ll read a bit about the new eco-friendly production measures adopted by John Horsfall. The magazine investigated innovative airline supply companies who are developing more eco-friendly products.
Positive partners: Eco-friendly products
Product designers and textile engineers are turning their attention to packaging-free and added-value design detail to ensure onboard textiles have a longer life and don’t end up in landfill sites.
While eco-blankets made from recycled plastic bottles may seem a solution, the company highlights the fact that these fleece fabrics,while cosy and serviceable, do shed microfibres into the water supply. Not quite an eco-friendly product, after all.
The team favours woven fabrics with a higher spun yarn that doesn’t shed and can enhance the passenger experience too.
This month’s magazine also features Michael & James from the Horsfall team, who both joined the company earlier this year.
