Due to the new demand from cruise yards for integrated waste treatment systems, Wärtsilä has developed a complete waste treatment package for ships where all systems are working together.
In practice, the new system of waste handling means better possibilities to reuse and recycle. Materials like metal and glass can now be collected separately inside the ship. Taken onshore when the ship comes to harbour, these materials can be transferred for recycling, and nothing goes to waste. The water is processed through a ‘grey and black water’ treatment system. The dried waste is handled together with bio-material and other burnable waste. It can be burned on-board in incinerators, which are also part of Wärtsilä’s waste-management system.
