Perspectives for the Development of a Circular Economy Model to Promote Ship Recycling Practices in the European Context: A Systemic Literature Review

“…The amount of waste produced in a shipyard is dependent on factors such as the quantity, dimension, and type of vessels being recycled, as well as the recycling percentage, which can be influenced by the ship's material composition, the technology used, the demand for reusable or recyclable products, and relevant legislations [32]. As a result, it is challenging to precisely estimate the amount of waste generated by a specific ship recycling yard [33,34].

“…Ref. [34] have examined the research on shipyard recycling procedures to find and validate sustainable methods in the ship recycling supply chain for recommendations on how to adopt best practices. Ref.…”

Ship recycling perspective on environmental impacts - A case study for the ships in service

Sant’ Ana et al (2023) [ 25 ] asserted that within their study on sustainable practices in ship recycling, they acquired a total of 19 applications. One of the key findings of their research was the necessity for environmental preservation in ship recycling facilities.…”
