Brunswick to Build Recyclable Boats

Brunswick Corporation has announced that it is expanding its partnership with Arkema, a leader in specialty materials, to develop a fully recyclable fiberglass boat. The first prototype is expected to be displayed at the 2022 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, and will be developed in conjunction with Boston Whaler.

“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Arkema, marking an exciting milestone in our sustainability journey,” says Kris Neff, Boston Whaler’s president. “By combining next-generation materials with the legendary safety and durability of the Boston Whaler brand, we are ensuring we continue to meet boaters’ diverse and changing needs while reducing our environmental footprint.”

The boat will be made using Arkema’s Elium fully recyclable resin, which is particularly suited to the marine industry and the production of composite watercraft.
