About the product:
GREENTEAK’s streamlined production process, plantation-sourced material, and optimised waste management, collectively yields efficiency improvements across energy, material and emissions. Through increased supply chain transparency and deforestation awareness, TDS has found sourcing from certified timber suppliers is the most effective avenue of avoiding deforestation and supplying environmentally friendly products.
Improved environmental impact:
GREENTEAK consistently achieves lower environmental impact compared to forest-harvested teak. GREENTEAK’s plantation-sourced teak impact are reduced by 2.46% to 19.04%, resulting in a 7.2% decrease in environmental impact.

About the product:
ECo Marina replaces the entire steel reinforcements in floating pontoons with composite bars, mesh, and combination of carbon and glass fibres. The use of these materials ensures a much stronger and lighter reinforcement than steel, because carbon is non corrosive.
Improved environmental impact:
ECo Marina reduces CO2 emissions by 20% compared to steel and concrete pontoons. Standard steel reinforced concrete pontoons have maximum theoretical life span of 50 years, while the lifetime for carbon composite reinforced pontoons is estimated at 80 years, meaning the total CO2 footprint compared with standard pontoons is half, in it’s lifetime.

About the product:
The use of the Slimline 5 stage drinking water system onboard superyachts is more environmentally friendly with respect to the use of bottled water, producing high quality drinking water straight from the tap to replace the need for bottled water. This not only saves space onboard but also offers a high quality, ecologically responsible answer to the growing issue of plastic use and pollution. Its five filters include 5 micron-pre filtration, carbon filter, mineral filter, bio ceramic infrared filter, and an ultra-filtration membrane.
Improved environmental impact:
The LCA results demonstrate that Octo Marine’s Slimline 5-Stage Drinking Water System offers substantial environmental benefits compared to the BAU onboard bottled water option. The Slimline system achieves reductions in environmental impact ranging from 56% to 99.9%, with significant improvements in key areas such as global warming potential (GWP), acidification, and photochemical oxidation, where reductions approach 99%. Overall, the system delivers a 99.6% reduction in total potential impacts, highlighting its potential as a better alternative in terms of environmental performance compared to using onboard bottled water.

About the product:
Reflow Marine specialises in the restoration of existing pipe systems to deliver reduced impact solutions to the marine sector. Their technology and processes restore aged or corroded pipe systems, dramatically extending the life of the system. Using pipe repair coating technology, Reflow Marine renovates pipe infrastructure by cleaning, preparing, and coating the inside of the existing pipe, saving time, disruption, and related expenditure.
Improved environmental impact:
Reflow Marine’s solution reduces impact across all environmental impact categories ranging from 19.3% up to 83.75%. Additionally, tthe Ecopoint method (reduction across human, ecosystem and resource depletion impact) shows an 82.10% overall reduction. Sensitivity analysis confirm the robustness of these results, even with increase in energy consumption and raw material impacts. Reflow Marine’s technology provides a clear environmental advantage, aligning with environmental performance goals for the yachting industry.

About the product:
VIA Maris Njørdal plates combine high strength with excellent bending properties and superior weldability. Casting of the raw material with a high amount of recycled content ensures a lower carbon footprint. Structures made of formed and welded VIA Maris products exhibit extraordinarily high rigidity, lighter, and safer constructions.
Improved environmental impact:
Speira’s innovative aluminium solution significantly reduces environmental impacts across most categories, with reductions reaching up to 15%. This shows a marked improvement compared to traditional aluminium. The only category with minimal change is photochemical oxidation, which is closely linked to primary aluminium production.
