The airport has banned the sale of all plastic bottles, pushing the hub closer to its goal of zero waste going to landfill
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has further expanded its industry leading plastic-free policy by banning the sale of beverages served in plastic bottles.
This follows its initial policy rolled out in August 2019, which saw SFO become the first airport in the world to prohibit the sale of single use water bottles which come in plastic or aseptic packaging.
Around 10,000 bottles of water were being sold at the airport everyday before the policy was implemented.
