LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF STEERING CONSOLE USED IN BOAT

Abstract

The Veneprint project’s primary goal is to create conditions for boat industry companies to transform from a linear economic model to a circular. This transformation is envisaged through the utilization of partially or entirely bio-based, as well as recyclable, materials and robotized 3D printing production technology. The project’s measures will reduce the carbon footprint of boat companies, improves working conditions for workers and therefore improves overall sustainability. The use of recyclable material with potential to reuse it strengthens companies’ competitiveness and provides cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions to customers, while 3D printing technology enables better customization of the boat features. Furthermore, Veneprint project activities accelerate business development by promoting investments in new modern technologies and pave the way for new value chains, which can be exploited locally.
