Back To News/PR Index | | | Recognizing that some of the company’s more remote locations may have a more challenging recycling and trash disposal process, Aggressor will work with local communities at disposal and collection sites for a better understanding of the processes and limitations. In turn, this knowledge will then help inform and improve future operational decisions with conservation in mind. “When we throw something away there is really no ‘away.’ We do want to minimize our impact as much as possible, though,” says Samantha Whitcraft, Director of Conservation & Outreach at Aggressor Adventures. “Knowing how local facilities work and what would be most helpful for them will be incredibly helpful as we adjust our operations toward optimal sustainability.” Beginning in 2022, Aggressor’s destinations will work with local communities to learn where trash and recyclables go and how they’re used. From there, trash and recycle practices by guests and crew members will be evaluated and adjusted as needed. “Having a better understanding of the recycling process at each destination and the trash we produce will help us improve our decisions and actions while traveling,” says Wayne Brown, CEO of Aggressor Adventures. “If we focus on keeping our beautiful destinations clean, we can offer a better travel experience to our customers.” Sustainable
