Waste Management

• Waste elimination and minimization;• Disposal ashore• Incineration• Discharge to sea.

10

Waste Minimization

• Our waste minimization program consists of reducing, reusing and recycling.

11

Reducing

We work to reduce the volume and toxicity of our waste. We reduce our waste by:

• Bulk purchasing• Acquiring only what we need when we need it• Working with suppliers to reduce packaging• Using alternative products to accomplish

the same job

12

Reducing

We reduce the toxicity of our waste by:

• Purchasing non-toxic products• Controlling material purchases with an• “approved chemicals list”• Replacing older equipment with new equipment,

designed for non-toxic products.

13

Reusing

We seek new opportunities to reuse materials and equipment on board or find others who can use things that are in good condition that we no longer need. This extends the use of many items. • We donate usable items, including mattresses

and clothing, at ports-of-call around the world. • We receives certain supplies in plastic and metal

drums, which we reuse as waste receptacles, thereby avoiding the need to purchase waste containers.

14

Recycling

We strive to recycle as many items as possible.• We place recycling collection containers

throughout the ship so our guests and crew can segregate the various recycling materials.

• We offload collected materials for recycling at ports around the world, including plastic, glass, paper, cardboard, aluminum, electronic equipment, toner, cartridges, batteries, fluorescent lamps, silver, scrap, metal, oily waste and used cooking oil.

15

Recycling

We will continue to reduce ourwaste output rate from ourshipboard operations by recyclingand reducing packaging.

16

Disposal Ashore

Managing the amount and process of waste landed ashore is an essential element of our waste management program.• We label, collect and store waste on board in

designated areas.• Authorized vendors remove materials from our ship

and dispose of them at approved shoreside facilities.

• Landed waste is disposed of in landfills, incinerated or recycled, depending on the type of waste.

17

Incineration on Board

• Shipboard incinerators substantially reduce the volume of combustible materials and waste landed ashore.

• We sort waste to ensure that only approved waste is introduced into the incinerator.

• Incinerator ash is landed ashore.

18

Discharge at Sea

We are continually evaluating procedures and operations to minimize the volumes of discharges at sea.• Food waste is discharged at sea at approved

distances from shore and after being comminuted/ground.

• Wastewater discharges are discharged after being processed or treated at designated distances from shore and restricted areas.

Waste Management

We use four main methods to manage shipboard waste:

• Waste elimination and minimization;• Disposal ashore• Incineration• Discharge to sea.
