London City Airport has launched an eight-week, £10,000, challenge for innovators to design or further develop a new, sustainable, sealable security bag for use at the airport. The competition opened on 21 October 2019 and ends on 16 December 2019.
At London City Airport alone, more than two million single-use plastic bags are used by its passengers every year. New security CT scanners will allow liquids to stay in passengers’ bags, but until this technology is more widely used at airports, non-recyclable plastic bags will remain the norm.
