Sounds like an oxymoron huh? I received this statement from a JetBlue crew member:
We recycle everything we can including paper products, soda cans, water bottles, plastic cups and the disposable headsets. Due to health regulations that prohibit us from reusing any part of our disposable headsets, we place our headphones in plastic bags to help us determine which ones have been used. During our flights, all trash items are collected together to insure our on-time performance then are transported to a facility where they can be sorted. Recyclable items are then picked up by a contracted recycling company.
Additionally, JetBlue also recycles in our offices from yogurt lids to soda can tops. We also do as much of our business electronically as possible so we can be a “paperless airline”. Our customer service crewmembers are encouraged to use erasable white boards instead of paper for taking notes.
Impressive! I had no idea JetBlue was so committed to sustainability.
