The case
In 2022 Aeropuertos Argentina launched “Destino Plástico Cero” and Unplastify has supported them on their plastic reduction journey. We started with the brands and stores operating inside the airports and gradually widened the scope to four fronts: food & beverage and retail, internal operations, airlines and VIP lounges, and cargo operations.

2. Co-design

3. Implement
Personalized and group support, with alternative sourcing options.
4. Recognize

+135 stores from +50 companies operating inside the airports joined the program: they provided data, took part in the workshops and started their plastic reduction journey.
