For shipboard waste handling, Deerberg-Systems provides the cruise industry with the "Deerberg Concept." Designed around the size of the cruise liner, ship's operational area, and existing and forthcoming environmental regulations, the new Deerberg Concept is a total waste management plan under which all types of garbage (glass, tin, paper, cardboard, food waste, etc.) are fed unsorted, after the shredding pro- cess, into an incinerator. The burn- able waste is reduced to ash. Some of the advantages of this waste handling concept are: no pol- lution of the cruising area; optimal volume waste reduction/disinfected residuals; quick disposal of waste to the shore; simplified handling for the receiver; and recycling in shoreside facilities. Both Deerberg-Trading and Deerberg-Systems have U.S. repre- sentatives located in Florida to pro- vide customer support to the cruise industry.
