Norwegian Cruise Line Partners With Drinique to Introduce New Sustainable Serveware for Breakfast Deliveries
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has partnered with Drinique to introduce a new sustainable in-room breakfast experience using reusable bento box-style serveware. The new containers, made with 50% certified recycled materials, will replace traditional porcelain dishes and eliminate the need for plastic cling wrap. The serveware is made with Eastman Tritan™ Renew, a durable plastic produced through innovative molecular recycling technologies.
This initiative is part of NCL's Sail & Sustain™ program, aimed at reducing environmental impact. The new serveware will be rolled out across NCL's entire 19-ship fleet by the end of the year, starting with Norwegian Prima® and Norwegian Viva®. This move follows NCL's previous efforts to eliminate single-use plastic straws and water bottles, which have already resulted in the reduction of over 27 million plastic water bottles and 77 million plastic straws.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) hat sich mit Drinique zusammengetan, um ein neues nachhaltiges Frühstückserlebnis im Zimmer mit wiederverwendbarem Bento-Box-Geschirr einzuführen.

Diese Initiative ist Teil des Sail & Sustain™ Programms von NCL, das darauf abzielt, die Umweltauswirkungen zu reduzieren. Das neue Geschirr wird bis Ende des Jahres in der gesamten 19-Schiffe-Flotte von NCL eingeführt, beginnend mit Norwegian Prima® und Norwegian Viva®. Diese Maßnahme folgt den früheren Bemühungen von NCL, Einwegplastikstrohhalme und Wasserflaschen zu beseitigen, wodurch bereits über 27 Millionen Plastik-Wasserflaschen und 77 Millionen Plastikstrohhalme eingespart werden konnten.

Norwegian Cruise Line's partnership with Drinique marks a significant step towards sustainable cruise operations. The introduction of reusable bento box-style serveware made with
This partnership, while environmentally friendly, is unlikely to have a substantial impact on NCL's financial performance or stock value. The initiative aligns with industry-wide sustainability efforts but doesn't provide a unique competitive advantage. The cost implications of implementing this change across the entire fleet are not disclosed, which could be significant. However, potential long-term savings from reduced waste management and improved operational efficiency could offset initial investments. The move may enhance brand perception among environmentally conscious travelers, potentially leading to a slight increase in bookings. Investors should view this as a necessary operational update rather than a game-changing strategy. The real test will be in NCL's ability to leverage this initiative for marketing purposes and translate it into tangible financial benefits, which remains to be seen.
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2024 / Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel, is teaming up with sustainable serveware provider Drinique to introduce a simplified in-room breakfast experience using a new line of reusable bento box-style serveware made with
Offering an innovative product made from durable and long-lasting sustainable reusable materials, Drinique's bento box-style serveware is made with Eastman Tritan™ Renew, a durable plastic powered by Eastman's innovative molecular recycling technologies that sources hard-to-recycle waste to keep it out of landfills. This new serveware, designed to work well in fast-paced food service environments, will replace traditional porcelain dishes for in-room breakfast service. The reusable serveware is being used for in-room breakfast service aboard Norwegian Prima® and Norwegian Viva® first and will be rolled out across NCL's entire 19-ship fleet before the end of the year.
"We are excited to help companies like NCL drive change to meet their environmental goals," said Andrew Elliott, President of Drinique. "By leveraging the sustainability and durability of Tritan Renew, we aim to help our partners innovate and continue to provide guests with an effortless dining experience while reducing single use plastic waste across the globe."
This new initiative is just one of the many ways Norwegian is showing it's committed to driving a positive impact on society and the environment through its global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain™. In 2018, NCL became the first major global cruise line to eliminate single-use plastic straws across its fleet and private destinations as well as single-use plastic water bottles in 2020. To date, these efforts have resulted in the elimination of more than 27 million single-use plastic water bottles and 77 million plastic straws.
"As part of our commitment to reduce the use of single plastic on board, we continuously search for opportunities to implement new environmentally friendly practices, while keeping our mission of delivering more experiences so our guests can vacation better with us top of mind," said Mark Kansley, Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations at Norwegian Cruise Line. "We're excited to continue to work with Drinique to introduce these new reusable bento boxes across our fleet and continue doing our part to protect and preserve the environment."
