Delta Air Lines is removing plastic wrappers from its TUMI amenity kits in business class, part of an effort by the industry to reduce single-use plastics.

Atlanta-based Delta is launching new amenity kits this month, and said it is removing plastic bags from the TUMI kits to divert 30,951 pounds of plastic from landfills in a year.

The kits still have conventional bottles and tubes for items such as toothpaste, hand cleanser and lip balm.

The new amenity kits in business class and in Sky Clubs include basil-scented Le Labo products.

The airline said it is also introducing new amenity kits for passengers throughout the cabin on long-haul flights.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
