A holiday airline has been carrying the can to make flights greener from Gatwick.
Thomas Cook has joined forces with the Travel Foundation, an independent organisation which helps towards sustainable tourism, on a pilot scheme to recycle aluminum drinks cans.
Almost 2kg of cans were collected on 11 flights from the UK to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
A Thomas Cook spokesman said: "Discussions are also under way with Gatwick Airport, Thomas Cook's second biggest UK base, about the practicality of launching the initiative on inbound flights to Gatwick."
