行业领导者已携手合作，通过利用回收材料建造船艇，采用循环经济模式，彻底变革船艇制造。这项开创性合作在法国西部发起，旨在实现船艇生产可循环，为复合材料的可持续发展提供了一种模式。
这一突破性举措联合了各领域的全球领导者：
- 博纳多集团（Groupe Beneteau），世界领先的帆船和摩托艇制造商。
威立雅环境集团（Veolia），全球领先的废物管理和环境服务公司。
复合材料回收公司（Composite Recycling），回收复合材料废弃物的先驱。
阿科玛集团（Arkema），特种材料领域的全球领导者。
欧文斯科宁公司（Owens Corning），玻璃纤维增强材料创新的先驱。
科纺勒集团（Chomarat）技术纺织品和复合增强织物专家。
复合材料制造业可持续发展的未来
闭环模式
这项合作为船艇行业的循环生产树立了新的标杆：
- 生产：博纳多集团将可回收的复合材料（包括阿科玛的Elium®复合材料树脂）应用于船艇制造。
- 废物收集：威立雅收集复合材料的生产废料，并将其运到法国西部的工厂进行回收。
- 回收利用：复合材料回收公司利用其新一代热解技术将废料分离并回收为再生玻璃纤维和热解油。
- 重新整合：阿科玛集团将热解油转化为新的Elium®树脂，欧文斯科宁公司生产新的玻璃纤维，科纺勒集团生产新的玻璃纤维增强材料。
- 再利用：博纳多集团将回收的Elium®树脂和玻璃纤维用于制造新船，实现了闭环循环利用。
复合材料回收公司的联合创始人Guillaume Perben说：帆船一直是我生活的一部分，因此我对我们的工业装置首次应用于船艇行业感到特别自豪。但这不仅仅是可持续造船业的问题，也是可应用于每个使用复合材料的行业的概念验证。
阿科玛全球业务经理Guillaume Cledat表示：Elium®树脂的设计初衷是使复合材料可回收再利用，这一举措展示了Elium®树脂如何大规模发挥作用。通过将 Elium® 树脂与创新回收技术相结合，我们为复合材料的循环经济奠定了基础。
这一合作是我们致力于实现可及性和可持续性船艇建造的决定性一步。博纳多集团创新与可持续发展副总裁Erwan Faoucher表示：我们的Jeanneau Sun Fast 30统一设计组别帆船以及最新的遨享仕Yacht 60游艇都完美地诠释了循环生产在船艇领域不再是一个简单的目标，而是实实在在的现实。博纳多集团创新与可持续发展副总裁Erwan Faoucher认为这是集团历史上的又一次大胆尝试。与市场上的传统聚酯材料相比，使用再生树脂可减少 70% 的二氧化碳排放量。过去，我们制造的游艇经久耐用，而今天，我们设计出的游艇在此基础上进一步符合可持续发展目标。
欧文斯科宁公司玻璃增强材料战略营销和研发副总裁Chris Skinner表示：将玻璃废料转化为循环材料是欧文斯科宁可持续发展战略的关键要素，也是我们在复合材料行业的竞争优势。这个项目有力地证明了我们参与为客户、行业和我们共同的世界实现循环发展的能力。
在威立雅，我们一直致力于通过产业合作开发创新和可持续的解决方案，威立雅回收与废弃物估值中心（Veolia Recyclage et Valorisaiton des Déchets Centre-Ouest）创新主管Marie Glorennec说：得益于这些回收技术的新进展，我们很荣幸能够为客户提供更好的废物处理替代方案，推动复合材料行业的循环发展。
科纺勒玻璃复合材料部门主管Vincent Cholvy表示：公司致力于推动复合材料的可持续发展，同时保持最高的性能标准。这个项目展示了如何将回收纤维无缝重新整合到新的高质量材料中，帮助各行业实现循环利用。
复合材料回收公司联合创始人Pascal Gallo博士认为：我们已经进入了一个新时代，通过设计实现产品的回收再利用，这次强有力的合作就是一个很好的例子。能够与具有远见卓识的大型合作伙伴一起工作，对我们来说是一个巨大的机遇。这种感觉就像我们站在巨人的肩膀上，使复合材料回收公司的规模扩张更快、更有影响力。我们将携手各方共同引领复合材料循环经济的发展。
