What is boat dismantling?
Boat dismantling involves breaking down and recycling end-of-life vessels in an environmentally friendly and compliant manner. This process enables the recovery of materials (metals, plastics, wood, etc.) and helps prevent pollution of the marine environment.
Why should I have my Jeanneau boat dismantled?
Dismantling is a responsible solution for:
- Preventing illegal abandonment or scuttling,
- Complying with French regulations (AGEC Act, 2020),
- Contributing to the circular economy by recycling up to 90% of materials.
What is APER?
APER (Association pour la Plaisance Eco-Responsable) is a state-approved eco-organisation responsible for organising the dismantling of pleasure boats in France. It coordinates a network of approved dismantling centres and covers the costs for owners.
