This debate session will address the growing potential of recycling and repurposing materials within the maritime industry, with a focus on the recycling of mooring ropes. This session will bring together manufacturers, trade associations, and recycling experts to assess the current state of rope recycling in the maritime sector. Panelists will discuss innovative solutions that already exist in the market and explore how materials can be given a second life, rather than ending up in landfills.

The debate will begin with an insightful presentation on the topic, after which it will highlight differing views and experiences within the industry, helping to clarify the key factors that shipping companies need to consider when it comes to recycling and repurposing materials. The goal of this session is to foster industry-wide collaboration, inviting attendees to join the discussion and contribute insights on this important issue.

Panellists include Mikael Karlsson - IMPA SAVE Chair & Northern Marine Group, Tore Strand - Wilhelmsen Group (C-Loop), Francesco Sandrelli - UK Chamber of Shipping & others to be announced.

Facilitated by IMPA's Secretary General Stephen Alexander and Head of Sustainability Jasmine Schestak, this is a session that cannot be missed.
