Photo: NZ HeraldConsumer NZ is claiming Air New Zealand is duping passengers with a statement on their in-flight drink cups, alleging it is an example of “greenwashing”. Air New Zealand, however, has hit back at the comments, calling the claims “unfair” but has committed itself to reviewing its waste management process. Consumer NZ said it investigated Air New Zealand’s claim on their in-flight cups which state “made from plants, not plastic”. “Our advice to businesses making green claims is to consider the impression their claims will create in people’s minds,” Styles said. “Our recent investigations have found that there’s no shortage of products spouting environmental claims,” Styles said.
