Finnair is to give old crew uniforms a new lease of life by recycling them or turning them into items such as pots, tables and benches. Under the initiative, all uniform parts that are in good condition and previously used by ground and cabin crew are being refurbished to be ‘wear-ready’ for the next user. Finnair is also working with top-flight Finnish work-clothing manufacture Image Wear to turn some of its old ground and Cabin Crew uniforms into garden furniture.
