In addition, over the next few years the company will transition to refillable in-room amenities in its hotels and on cruise ships, reducing plastics in guest rooms by 80 percent. Disney will also reduce the number of plastic shopping bags in theme parks and on cruise ships, offering guests the option to purchase reusable bags at a nominal price. Finally, polystyrene cups will be eliminated. These steps are part of Disney’s long-term effort to reduce single-use plastics while still recycling and responsibly disposing single-use waste that cannot be eliminated.
