Global Inflight Products debuts compostable fiber casserole for onboard service
This is a special feature from the April 2026 WTCE Hamburg issue of PAX International on page 18.
The plant fiber pulp casserole from GIP is ovenable and available in several shapes and sizes to support more sustainable inflight meal service
As airlines intensify efforts to reduce single-use materials in the cabin, Global Inflight Products (GIP) introduced three years ago a plant fiber pulp casserole designed to support more sustainable inflight meal service.
Made from 100 percent renewable plant fibers, the casserole is oven-safe and heat-resistant, enabling dishes to be baked, reheated or served directly in the container without compromising performance. The lightweight and durable construction is designed to withstand the demands of high-volume airline catering operations, maintaining its shape even with heavier or sauce-based meals. The products are available in several shapes and sizes.
The containers are food-safe and odorless, ensuring that flavors remain unaffected across a range of cuisines, says Zine Badissy, CEO of GIP. The sturdy design also supports efficient handling across the catering cycle—from kitchen preparation through to onboard service. After use, the casseroles are compostable and biodegradable, with the plant fiber material delivering a clean, natural aesthetic.
