The Hawk Seal is our revolutionary, UK manufactured, re-usable, two-piece padlock style, locking system. With a re-usable padlock body that can be used over 2,000 trips. And disposable security seals designed for airline catering carts, duty free/ boutique bars and atlas catering boxes.
The HawkSeal provides more than a 8 key security features to protect the integrity of the catering and duty free carts throughout the inflight operations.
Some of the key benefits to the HawkSeal include:
Integrates with TydenGreen Scheme
The disposable Hawkseal is made of a single stream plastic which means we can recycle it. Our TydenGreen scheme is a model framework we have developed with the UK government to prevent the amount plastic security seal waste from entering landfill sites. We have partnered with several airlines including EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic. With Dnata Catering UK and our recycling partner to collect the plastic security seal waste, process and grind down into plastic pellets. These are then turned into new items such as plastic garden furniture, school tables and school chairs, traffic cones and many more. The HawkSeal is significantly smaller than traditional plastic pull-up seals, therefore less materials are being used to make the seals.
Since piloting TydenGreen at one of EasyJet’s sites we have collected and recycled over 3 tonnes of plastic seal waste being sent to UK Landfill sites. This weight is the equivalent to a Ford F-250 pickup truck and we anticipate the tonnage of HawkSeal waste collected to be a lot heavier. We believe TydenGreen to be the true way of dealing with plastic materials and helping to run a sustainable inflight catering operation. Our way of doing that is by making sure that every airline has been introduced to the TydenGreen scheme. Wherever they are in the world, we’ve got a model or a framework to follow.
