FREMONT,
Calif., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Power
Knot Ocean, the market leader for onboard organic waste management
solutions in the marine environment, announced today that Carnival
Corporation has received the Environment Leader Award in
recognition of their aggressive food waste reduction efforts which
include the use of food waste digesters.
The ESG Shipping Awards International 2024, the world's first
event of its kind, was established in partnership with the Greek
Ministry of Shipping and the Hellenic Chamber of Shipping. The
awards recognize global shipping companies for their innovation and
exceptional commitment to sustainability and responsible business
practices, across 11 categories.
Carnival Corporation was distinguished in the following
categories:
- Gold Climate Change Leader Award
- Gold Technology Leader Award
- Bronze Environment Leader Award
The Bronze Environment Leader Award was given to Carnival
Corporation for its comprehensive food waste reduction initiatives
aimed at minimizing food waste throughout all aspects of onboard
food preparation and dining services. This recognition highlights
the company's significant investments in advanced food waste
management technologies, such as the LFC® biodigester from Power
Knot Ocean. These biodigesters efficiently break down and
responsibly dispose of unused food, and provide statistics about
the source and amount of waste. With these statistics, Carnival is
able to focus efforts on the reduction in food waste per
passenger.. This achievement not only surpasses Carnival's 2025
goal but also propels the company closer to its 50% reduction
target set for 2030.
The LFC® biodigester is a machine that digests food waste. These
machines are usually installed in a galley or recycling center and
reduce the expense, inconvenience, mess, and carbon footprint of
disposing of food waste that would otherwise be taken off in a
tender. Power Knot Ocean has nine different sizes that digest from
10 kg (20 lb) per day to 6000 kg (13200 lb) per day of food waste.
With many hundreds of installations globally on land and on the
ocean, the LFC biodigester has proven to be reliable, safe, and
cost effective.
