“…She was built at a time when people wanted adventure on the water, rather than a chilled Chardonnay tied to a pontoon.”
“Society is defined by what it refuses to destroy.”
There are an estimated six million boats in the EU alone, 95% of which are made of GRP. Every year, around 1-2% (60,000-120,000) of these boats reach the end of their useful life. Of these, only 2,000 are recycled, while 6,000-9,000 are abandoned.
