迈阿密,5月4日,2022 / 3BL媒体 / -Carnival Corporation & plc(NYSE/LSE:CCL; NYSE:CUK),全球最大的邮轮公司宣布已完成其在其机队中安装近600名食品废物生物消化器,以支持正在进行的食物废物管理和减少工作,作为其整体承诺的一部分环境合规。该创新技术已添加到公司的九个邮轮品牌的船舶中 - 狂欢节邮轮​​公司,公主克鲁斯,荷兰美洲线,Seabourn,Seabourn,P&O Cruises(澳大利亚),Costa Cruises,Aida Cruises,P&O Cruises(英国)和Cunard。

“The significant investment in this technology goes hand in hand with our highest responsibility and top priority at Carnival Corporation, which is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we visit and serve, and our shipboard and shoreside personnel,” said Bill Burke, chief maritime officer for Carnival Corporation. “We have made great strides in our circular economy focus area and the rollout of nearly 600 biodigesters represents another important milestone for our ongoing efforts to further minimize our impact on the oceans we sail and the communities we visit while supporting overall food waste management efforts and environmental compliance on board our ships.”

除了食品废物管理目标外,循环经济重点领域还包括持续的承诺,以显着减少非必需的一次性塑料项目,以及最新的可持续性报告中详细介绍的长期可持续性目标和2050年的愿望,包括金博宝怎么注册下列的:
