KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Premium Comfort - REPREVE Our Ocean Kit
In 2022, deSter and KLM Royal Dutch
Airlines introduced a truly sustainable
amenity kit for the airline’s Premium
Comfort class. We have created products
to reduce environmental impact and
promote reusability.
The kit includes an assortment of the
following sustainable items:
• Toothbrush: high-quality certified
bamboo toothbrush that can be
used multiple times.
• Toothpaste: toothpaste tablets
as an eco-friendly, travel-friendly,
vegan alternative to conventional
toothpaste tubes (which are difficult
to recycle).
• Pen: made from wheat straw
• Eyeshade: made from recycled
polyester (rPET) derived from PET
bottles.
• Packaging: only FSC (Forest Stewardship
Council) certified paper is
used for all packaging.
• Bag: a reusable bag made of 100%
recycled PET (rPET). Sourced from
plastic bottles collected via the
coastline (in collaboration with
REPREVE Our Ocean).
The bag we created makes this design
particularly special. Through the collaboration
with REPREVE Our Ocean, more
than 130,000 plastic bottles are saved
that would otherwise go to the ocean
every year.
