Yes, and then they build new ones.

Sorry all, I didn't mean to turn this into an environmental argument. I just wanted to share some info to give everyone a chance to find a suitable alternative.

My favorite (so far) is the Thermos Vacuum King 16oz. It fits in the Airbus cup holder, closes securely so it doesn't leak in my bag, and it keeps stuff the right temp (hot or cold) for hours.

Thermos Stainless Vacuum King 16oz.

Any other good options/favorites out there?

I put ice in it mid day on day 2 of a 3 day. It still had ice 2 days later at home. I stopped using it for coffee because it keeps too hot for my liking but it's amazing for cold drinks on hot summer days. Fits the Airbus and super easy to clean.

Got it.

but I applaud your knee-jerk whataboutism. Truly excellent nonsense.

Ah. So you're saying that things that you put in your trash can don't always end up the dumpster?! Wow. Who knew?

I never made any argument either way. My point is 1.) who knows if this policy will have a positive net benefit and 2.) the airlines standing up to mask mandates way earlier would have resulted in a way bigger impact on the environment. Thus I question how dedicated airlines are to the environment vs how dedicated they are to their image.

Refuting an opinion with “whataboutism” is elementary school level. It means you have no rebuttal.
