Delta Air Lines is switching to bamboo cutlery for fresh packaged meals in first class as part of a broader effort to reduce single-use plastics on flights.
Delta said that and other changes planned for onboard service will reduce its plastic use by about 4.9 million pounds annually.
Atlanta-based Delta said bamboo cutlery will also be used on some international flights, and starting later this year, main cabin passengers traveling internationally will be served food on dishes made of biodegradable materials.
