In 2023, Royal Caribbean Cruises reported a total waste generation of 34,840 metric tonnes, of which 100% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.

Has Royal Caribbean Cruises reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Royal Caribbean Cruises's total waste generation increased by 63.8%, including a 25.1% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Royal Caribbean Cruises's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Royal Caribbean Cruises's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.
