Making Life Cycle Assessment the building block to improve the environmental performance and transform the future of the boating industry
Why a LCA tool desinged for the recreational boating industry
-
Reducing climate change and environmental impact as major challenge for the industry
-
Increased pressure from consumers, stakeholders and regulators at national and European level
-
External focus on CO2 emissions and tailpipe emissions insufficient to truly evaluate and reduce environmental impact
-
Limited use hours due to leisure use (35-50h maximum per year) shows need to move beyond tailpipe approach
Life Cycle Assessment approach enables practical, structured and sector-specific approach to decarbonisation
Aligning with the EU’s Product Environmental Footprint method
