solid waste generated on a ship includes glass, paper, cardboard, aluminium and steel cans, and plastics. it can be either non-hazardous or hazardous in nature. solid waste that enters the ocean may become marine debris, and can then pose a threat to marine organisms, humans, coastal communities, and industries that utilize marine waters. cruise ships typically manage solid waste by a combination of source reduction, waste minimization, and recycling. however, as much as 75 percent of solid waste is incinerated on board, and the ash typically is discharged at sea, although some is landed ashore for disposal or recycling. marine mammals, fish, sea turtles, and birds can be injured or killed from entanglement with plastics and other solid waste that may be released or disposed off of cruise ships. on average, each cruise ship passenger generates at least two pounds of non-hazardous solid waste per day. with large cruise ships carrying several thousand passengers, the amount of waste generated in a day can be massive. for a large cruise ship, about 8 tons of solid waste are generated during a one-week cruise. it has been estimated that 24 percent of the solid waste generated by vessels worldwide (by weight) comes from cruise ships. most cruise ship garbage is treated on board (incinerated, pulped, or ground up) for discharge overboard. when garbage must be off-loaded (for example, because glass and aluminium cannot be incinerated), cruise ships can put a strain on port reception facilities, which are rarely adequate to the task of serving a large passenger vessel.
