“This recognition highlights Arkema’s ability to leverage material chemistry for sustainability, in partnership with leaders in boating, composites, and recycling. Together, we are building a viable circular model for a more responsible future,” says Pierre Gérard, R&D Expert in Composite Materials at Arkema, who was deeply involved in establishing this alliance.
The alliance will also be a central feature of the 2025 Paris Boat Show from November 26 to December 1 at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget. On Beneteau’s stand in Hall 3, visitors will discover an educational pathway dedicated to circular boatbuilding, in partnership with the five other major players in the alliance. This initiative reflects Beneteau’s commitment, as a global leader in boating, to innovate toward more recyclable boats with a lower environmental footprint.
