Delta Air Lines is trialing TURN reusable cups to serve drinks to main cabin customers in an attempt to eliminate, or at least drastically reduce single-use plastics.

As well as TURN reusable plastic cups that can be collected in and washed, Delta has also been exploring the option of replacing single-use plastic cups with sustainable paper alternatives, although the airline says that option isn’t as simple as it might seem.

More and more airlines are moving to reusable cups with TURN given that they have the most scalable washing and reuse system in the world.

Delta is not alone, Bonza airlines in Australia launched this year with 100% reusable TURN cups on in-flight as well.

TURN’s cups are not like any cup. Their patented design makes them one of the most versatile reusable cup in the world.

Given the recent news that Air New Zealand is still using single use cups, lets hope that more airliens move towards what consumers have been requesting for a long time — reusable TURN cups.
