In 2017, there were 36.8 million commercial flights operated around the world. The industry is growing so rapidly that the number is expected to double in 20 years. Each year, an estimated 5.2 million tons of cabin waste is produced from these flights, including food and packaging waste.
MealMile is an app and tableware system that is designed to reduce the carbon footprint and waste in commercial flights by directly involving the passengers and allowing them to learn about the environmental impact of their choices.
Passengers are directed to an app after booking their flight, which allows them to customize their meal options and convert the saved CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) into miles points. The food waste reduction helps airlines save a lot of money in food waste processing.
The tableware is designed to reduce the use of packaging waste, and for passengers to have a more meaningful dining experience even when they choose to have smaller portioned meals. The pieces also nest to save precious cabin space.

The set is designed to be used in multiple ways, yet make your kitchen prep more efficient. The smaller board for light cooking is 10.5"x 14.5" and the larger one is 21" x 15". Using the boards together creates a catch system, pulling out the smaller board on either side, to easily transfer the cut food items or scrap. A simple mechanism allows the smaller board to completely detach and be carried to the pot to transfer the cut food items.
They can also be used individually, and still benefit from the easy transfer feature of the curved edge.
