Boat scrapping: a sustainable approach to marine wreck disposal

Destroying boats: a sustainable approach to disposing of marine wrecks

In the marine sector, the issue of managing boats at the end of their life represents a major challenge. Marine wrecks can become a source of pollution and threaten aquatic ecosystems. That's why initiatives such as Casse Marine Enlèvement have emerged to offer sustainable solutions to this growing problem.

Casse Marine Enlèvement and Epur Méditerranée have joined forces to set up an innovative project to give new life to end-of-life pleasure boats. This collaboration involves the recovery of boats destined for destruction thanks to the Aper association, as well as the recovery of spare parts and engines for resale in the nautical industry. This approach promotes a circular economy in the sector by maximising the recovery of raw materials and reducing waste.

When it comes to removing a shipwreck, Casse Marine Enlèvement steps in to carry out the removal while Epur Méditerranée handles the destruction and depollution of the vessel. Meanwhile, Casse Marine Enlèvement sorts and recovers materials and spare parts that can be recycled.

Recovered materials are carefully sorted, stored and sent to appropriate recycling channels. Spare parts in good condition, such as engines, winches and sails, are cleaned, renovated, tested and offered for sale on the second-hand market. This approach reduces the amount of waste generated by boat destruction while offering an affordable solution for boat owners looking for spare parts for their repairs or maintenance.

In addition to the economic benefits, this initiative also helps to preserve the environment. By reducing the amount of waste associated with pleasure boats, it limits the environmental impact of producing new spare parts. Thanks to their international web presence, Casse Marine Enlèvement and Epur Méditerranée are able to develop their association in France and abroad, offering responsible and economical waste management solutions for pleasure boats, wherever they may be.

In short, the partnership between Casse Marine Enlèvement and Epur Méditerranée promotes a circular economy in the nautical sector. This approach offers affordable, sustainable solutions while reducing the waste associated with end-of-life boats. By preserving the environment, this initiative offers a cost-effective solution to boat owners looking for spare parts for their vessels.
