Kaelis prioritizes wellness and passenger comfort in its design process, ensuring each item in its kits are high-quality and functional. This combination of sustainability, quality and smart design helps airlines deliver a comfortable journey with a contemporary look, while being conscious of environmental impact.

“We’ve focused on creating comfort sets and amenity kits that combine sustainability, the best quality and a sense of home,” Gonzalo Munita, Chief Commercial Officer at Kaelis, tells PAX International.

The amenity kit supplier reveals that it is incorporating these values in one of its latest innovations—premium amenity kits made with eco-friendly materials that prioritize sustainability without sacrificing luxury.

These kits include pouches that are crafted by recycling 7.5 million 550-millilitre plastic bottles to create reused materials. According to Munita, this results in 1.2 million water litres saved during production and a 70 percent reduction in energy emissions.

The company emphasizes that the contents of its amenity kits are just as carefully curated when it comes to passenger wellness and sustainability. Kaelis seeks out cosmetic brands that focus on natural wellness, such as hydrating skincare products.

To ensure the products meet the standards of wellness- and eco-conscious travellers, Munita explains that Kaelis has a dedicated quality team that monitors the latest regulations and standards.

The process of assessing quality and sustainability was part of the amenity kit suppliers work on plastic-free packaging for LATAM’s mattresses, pillows and duvets. The resulting canvas bags add to the “comforting, home-like feel in the cabin” and communicated the sustainability story to passengers through a message on the bag, Munita explains.

Passenger feedback is an essential part of Kaelis’ approach to sustainability and plays a role in every proposal the company develops. Munita notes a growing trend among passengers who expect eco-conscious solutions in the cabin.

“We carefully consider the environmental impact to ensure our kits are designed with sustainability at their core, assuring the kits are operationally practical for airlines while being appealing and functional enough for passengers to take with them, rather than leaving them behind,” says Munita.
