What we recycle

Plastics

Plastics are composed of polymers i.e., compounds made of many small molecules.

Ferrous metals

Ferrous metals, primarily composed of iron, include materials like steel and cast iron, which are commonly found in construction, manufacturing, and transportation.

Non-Ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and titanium, do not contain iron and are valued for their resistance to corrosion and high conductivity.

Paper

Recycled paper is a versatile material that can replace or supplement virgin pulp to create new products like packaging, newspapers, and insulation.

Textiles

Textiles, including both synthetic fibers like polyester and natural fibers like cotton, are integral to daily life, with global production nearly tripling since 1975.

Tyres

Tyres contain multiple valuable materials such as rubber (75%), steel (15%) and textile fibres (10%).

Construction & Demolition

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste includes materials like concrete, bricks, wood, metals, glass, plastics, and hazardous substances such as asbestos.

End-of-life Vehicles

End-of-life Vehicles (ELVs) contain valuable materials like metals (steel, aluminum), plastics, rubber, and glass, as well as batteries.

E-waste

E-waste, otherwise referred to as waste electronical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is mainly composed of non-ferrous metals (nickel, copper, lead, etc.

Ships

End-of-life ships are decommissioned vessels that contain valuable materials like steel, metals, and electronics, along with hazardous substances such as asbestos, oils, and toxic chemicals.

Who we are

Responsible Ship Recycling Forum 2025

When & where

When & where

The ship recycling industry is undergoing significant transformation driven by a shifting regulatory landscape, enhanced oversight, evolving financial incentives and the rapid pace of technological change.

The Responsible Ship Recycling Forum 2025 explores international ship recycling challenges, including the UAE’s Ship Recycling Regulation, the Hong Kong Convention, and the Basel Convention.

Gain insights into Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) compliance under EU-SRR, ESG reporting impacts, and financial institutions’ roles in promoting sustainability.

Engage with industry leaders, discover emerging technologies like sustainable steel and material tracking, and address the “shadow fleet” challenges shaping the future of ship recycling.

Through attendance, delegates will get a deep insight into how these forces are shaping the sector, what they mean for their businesses, and how best to position from compliance and commercial standpoints.
