The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched a groundbreaking report entitled "Reassessing Single Use Plastics Products in the Airline Sector," designed to serve as a comprehensive roadmap for airlines, regulators and suppliers in the airline industry to mitigate the environmental impact caused by single-use plastic products (SUPP). 

Published on April 10, 2024, this study comes at a crucial time, coinciding with discussions by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which is seeking to establish a binding international treaty on SUPP management by the end of the year.
