Carnival Cruise Line Doing Its Part to Clean the World

Carnival Cruise Line announced it will partner with Clean the World, a global health organization committed to improving the quality of life for vulnerable communities around the world.  Clean the World provides sustainable resources, programming and education focused on water, sanitation and hygiene for areas affected by poverty, homelessness or natural crisis.

So how will Carnival Cruise Line assist in this endeavor? Carnival will start collecting discarded soap from guest and crew staterooms throughout the fleet and send it to a Clean the World recycling center where the soap will be sanitized, melted down and reprocessed.

Together, Carnival and Clean the World will distribute more than 400,000 new, clean bars of soap to

people in need across the globe each year. The new program will be rolled out across its entire North American fleet by the end of July. It is one of multiple initiatives underway to further reduce waste disposal and recycle additional products used on board.

Hotels around the world are already a part of this program, but Carnival Cruise line is the first large-scale cruise operator to partner with Clean the World.  Through its collaboration with Carnival, Clean the World will be able to expand its existing recycling program.
