The ultra-luxury and expedition cruise line is the first operator to divert all waste from landfill disposal in the destination.
The line classifies and sorts all waste generated aboard Silver Origin before transporting all but organic waste out of the Galapagos Islands to the mainland to be recycled or processed in line with regulatory procedures.
Collaborating with a local waste management company, Silversea offloads all waste generated on board Silver Origin in San Cristobal each week.
