Plastikreduktions-Programm
Wir wollen dazu beitragen, unsere Meere zu entlasten.
Im ersten Schritt haben wir alle Plastik- und Einwegprodukte an Bord erfasst, um uns im zweiten Schritt alternative Lösungen zu überlegen. Dabei schauen wir auch auf unsere Lieferketten, die Produkte unserer Partner und Lieferanten sowie die Transportverpackungen.
Wir von der Mein Schiff ® Flotte sehen es als unsere Aufgabe an, uns für den Schutz von Meer und Stränden einzusetzen. Aus diesem Grund haben wir 2018 ein Plastik-Reduktionsprogramm ins Leben gerufen.
Our objectives:
Avoiding plastics and single-use articles as far as possible
Replacing plastics with materials made from sustainable alternatives wherever possible
Optimal recycling of unavoidable plastics and single-use products
Putting every product to the test
As a first step, we logged all plastic and non-recyclable materials on board. In the second step we originated alternative solutions. In this effort we also examine our supply chains, partners´ and suppliers´ products, and transportation packaging.
Every effective idea is then considered for implementation and our crews are committed to supporting us throughout the process. For instance, the solution of hanging daily newspapers to cabin door handles with a hemp cord instead of in a plastic bag originated from a crew member. So what have we achieved thus far? Fleet-wide, 34 million plastic items and other non-recyclables have already been eliminated annually since the program was launched in 2018.
Our measures
- Washable cotton aprons
Numerous examples demonstrate the impact of our WASTELESS initiative. To minimize non-disposable plastics, our chefs´ aprons are now made of reusable cotton, not synthetic materials.
- Refillable soap dispensers
Our cruise guests´ cabin bathrooms are equipped with refillable soap dispensers, helping us save a lot of plastic. By the way, our cabin shampoos and shower gels are microplastic-free, naturally.
- Bags of sustainability
Plastic laundry bags? Not on a TUI cruise! We did our research and opted for washable, reusable cotton laundry bags.
- Twice the protection
When the heavens open, our reusable rain ponchos keep our guests dry and the environment happy.
- Sustainably packaged vanity sets
We keep our packaging plastic-free, replacing it with FSC-certified paper.
- Responsibly delicious
This Nutella maxi-dispenser is bursting with sweet flavor – and replaces a whole box of individually packed portions.
