Themes
Stuck in the sand
Breaking the global fleet on the beaches of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan causes irreversible damage to workers and the environment. Incremental changes will not address the global shipbreaking crisis.
A vision for today
Charting a course towards ethical circularity, new thinking integrates human values with life cycle management, including the design phase, and is leading toward more sustainable practices.
Tech for change
With the rise of new technologies, including innovative cutting techniques, state-of-the-art waste handling procedures, and clean steel breakthrough systems aimed at achieving a zero-carbon steel-making process, the shift towards a truly sustainable ship recycling model is already a reality.
Closing the gap
Systemic change, paired with innovative economic and policy instruments to drive an ethical circular economy, is crucial to shift the ship recycling sector towards sustainable practices and put a definite end to unsafe and dirty ones.
