Ultramarine and World Explorer operated with Micro Auto-Gasification systems in 2024, diverting approximately 1,500 cubic meters of combustible waste from landfill through high- temperature conversion to inert solid carbon. This technology remains a component of our waste management strategy. Waste prevention remains critical, particularly given the limited recycling infrastructure in the polar regions. We remain focused on eliminating waste at its source rather than managing it after generation. We eliminated around 5,250 kg of plastic from our supply chain in 2024 by removing single-use items. Since 2014, we’ve provided every guest with a reusable water bottle. Refillable soap and shampoo dispensers have replaced single-use products, and straws and napkins are available by request only—reducing waste and promoting sustainability awareness.
220,000 Toiletry Containers
That’s around 16,500 kg of plastic removed from the supply chain so that our guests never had to use them.
