iShine Coatings Group is dedicated to sustainability and reducing the yachting industry’s environmental impact. Did you know that the way we care for our yachts can play a significant role in cutting down on CO2 emissions and plastic waste?
Why Proper Protection Beats Frequent Repainting
Yachts are exposed to harsh marine environments—salt, sun, and constant water exposure—which can wear down paint and coatings. Traditionally, frequent repainting is seen as the solution, but this comes with hidden costs to the environment.
How Proper Surface Protection From the Start Can Make a Difference
Extend the yacht’s paint lifespan: By using high-quality coatings right from the beginning, you reduce the need for frequent repainting, saving time, effort, and resources.
Less waste = Less pollution: Every repainting cycle generates plastic waste from sanding, plastic coverings, and old paint. Less paint jobs mean less of this waste ends up in landfills and oceans. Moreover, these plastic sheets, often made from materials like polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), are designed to be durable and resistant to paint overspray, but they typically become contaminated with paint, solvents, and other chemicals during the process. This contamination makes them difficult to recycle through traditional recycling methods.
This means contamination: Once the plastic is covered with paint or chemicals, it can no longer be processed in regular recycling facilities due to the potential of harmful substances and the difficulty in cleaning.
Lower CO2 Emissions: The repainting process involves plastic transportation, and materials—all of which contribute to CO2 emissions. By prolonging the lifespan of your yacht’s paint, you’re directly reducing the carbon footprint of your vessel.
