Viking Line recycles nearly all waste from its vessels, with coffee grounds and cooking oil collected for reuse. Coffee grounds, collected from five vessels, are repurposed for garden soil, reducing the need for peat by 30%. Cooking oil is converted into hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a diesel alternative. In 2023, Viking Line recycled 1,475 tonnes of food waste, generating enough biogas to power 800 apartments annually. Ongoing efforts include a food waste project to analyse and reduce surplus, highlighting Viking Line’s commitment to sustainability.
