Lightweighting our cargo nets is the most direct lever we have on aviation's CO₂ footprint. Every kilogram removed from a pallet net is fuel saved — flight after flight, for a decade.
We back it up: in-house polyester recycling, low-carbon French electricity, EcoVadis-evaluated supply chain.
Lighter ETSO pallet nets — at the same price, with the same load capacity.
EcoVadis Silver — top 15% of assessed suppliers worldwide.
Polyester webbing waste recycled — closed-loop with our partner mill.
