APER is a world leader in the dismantling, recycling and recovery of end-of-life recreational craft. It has dismantled more than 6,500 boats through its network of 30 dismantling centres. It was created by the French Federation of Nautical Industries and approved by the French State in 2019.

On Monday 5 December, at the “salon nautique de Paris”, the eco-organisation APER and Composite Recycling formalised their partnership aimed at deploying low-energy mobile units to treat composite waste from the scrapping of recreational craft. Once separated from the resin and cleaned, they can be used again, in the manufacture of recreational boats or many other products.

This is great news for the industry, which is moving towards a more sustainable and environmentally beneficial impact.
