Strategic guidance based on the concept of cleaner production to improve the ship recycling industry

“…In order to draw any conclusions on the feasibility of such a technology an extensive research must be carried out. This subject is explored by authors in Jain and Pruyn (2016), where they have discussed the economic Fig. 2 Evaluation of applicability of cleaner production options to ship recycling Source: Author based on UNIDO-UNEP (2010), inner boxes describe the general CP options, and outer boxes describe the applicability of each option to ship recycling Environ Syst Decis feasibility of a plasma gasification plant on a large ship recycling yard.…”

“…For example, Ferrão and Amaral (2006), Soo et al (2015), Tian and Chen (2014) and van Schaik and Reuter (2004) discussed its applicability on automobiles, Durham et al (2015) discussed its applicability on clothing, Kuo (2010) examined its usability to improve the recyclability of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), whereas Perry et al (2012) applied the concept to composites. The studies discussing the concept in the context of ship recycling include Alkaner et al (2006), McKenna et al (2012) and Sivaprasad and Nandakumar (2013) before being discussed and applied on a case ship by the authors of this paper in Jain et al (2015Jain et al ( , 2016a.…”

“…However, technical and economic feasibility of such a technology must be undertaken to decide on its applicability to a ship recycling yard. The economic feasibility analysis of the plasma gasification technology on a large ship recycling yard (annual recycling capacity of 1 million tonnes) carried out by Jain and Pruyn (2016) shows that return on such investment can become positive within 10 years of the plant operation.…”

Ship Recycling Status in Bangladesh and Annual Reusable Material Output

“…At present, Bangladesh Government has established the "Ship Building and Ship Recycling Board" (SBSRB) as the onestop service provider under the Ministry of Industry (MOI). After operational, it is providing integrated services including granting required permissions and certificates for Ship breaking, recycling and other related activities in cooperation with other responsible departments and ministries [7].…”

A Critical Review of Shipbreaking Literature Reveals Shortcomings in Dimensions Considered for Sustainability

“…ship design for improved recycling and avoided environmental pollutants and hazardous materials. Shivaprashad and Nandakumar (2013) discussed extended life cycle thinking and recyclability analysis to include EOL ship dismantling in the design phase Jain et al (2015). stated that the EOL stages are ignored in the design process, despite the fact that 96% of ships are dismantled in shipbreaking yards with environmental, social and safety issues, leading to serious environmental injustice for the shipbreaking nations.…”
