Lufthansa’s new continental business class meal concept, Tasting HEIMAT, is being backed by deSter, in line with its mission of “creating sustainable food and travel experiences”.
deSter and Gate Gourmet, which are part of gategroup, partnered with the airline to create a unique food and equipment experience with a focus on sustainability.
Tasting HEIMAT was developed in collaboration between Lufthansa, Gate Gourmet and deSter. All the equipment was designed to create a unique customer experience while assuring operational requirements are met. ,
Tasting HEIMAT combines global trends with a strong focus on sustainability:
- Material Selection: all paper products are made of either PaperWise, FSC certified/recycled paper; disposable plastics needed for hygiene reasons are made from recycled PET;
- Product Design and Supply Chain: re-usable equipment is used for the majority of the concept, reducing waste and enhancing the appeal of the products; most of the items are produced in Germany, EU or Turkey resulting in a short supply chain with lower CO2 emissions.
Florian von Oertzen, deSter stated: “We are always excited to create new products for Lufthansa and help enhance the passenger experience. This project was carried out in record time and under adverse conditions, highlighting the benefits of the close collaboration between all teams.”
