The SSI has a vision of a shipping industry that is both profitable and sustainable by 2040. Closed Loop Materials Management is one of four action plans to kick-start the implementation of our Vision for 2040. This programme will run from April 2012 - September 2013. www.forumforthefuture.org/ssi

2. SSI Vision for 2040
Changing to a diverse mix of energy sources, using
resources more efficiently and responsibly, and
dramatically reducing greenhouse gas intensity
Providing safe, healthy and secure work environments
so that people want to work in shipping, where they can
enjoy rewarding careers and achieve their full potential
Transparency and accountability drive performance
improvements and enable better, sustainable business
decision-making

3. Background
• In a business-as-usual scenario, we have enough iron for
60 years*
• up to US$ 2 trillion could be saved through resource-
efficient measures across just three sectors – carbon,
steel and iron – in the major economies alone**
• Current best practice recycling loses high-value
materials
• How to design ships to enable better recycling and
easier recovery of materials used?
*World Economic Forum
**World Resource Institute

4. The opportunity
• Significantly improving on (already high) levels of
recycling
• Realising the full value of ships based on accurate
knowledge of materials content
• Improved supply chain management
• Facilitating design for recycling
• Complying with regulation – inventory of hazardous
materials

5. Obtain material
Recycling today
Manufacturing
• Mixing steel types – high
tensile with mild steel Assembly
• Mixing different materials –
copper with steel
Operation
• Designs that make recycling
impossible – spray insulation
Disassembly
that is impossible to remove
Waste / ‘downcycling’

6. Closing the loop
Obtain
material
• Keep the quality of Material
Manufacturing
materials pool
• Mining of new
materials will be
reduced to a
minimum
Disassembly Assembly
• Make capital out of
the materials, not just
currency Operation

9. Objectives
Short term:
1. Develop a system to
document and trace
Long term:
ship building materials
2. Prove the concept
Full closed loop materials
based on 3+ pilots
management system used
as standard by ship
building and breaking
industries

11. Benefits … if we work together
• Reduced lifecycle
environmental impact
• Higher resource availability
in the long term
• Higher value of materials
recovered
• Easier to ensure compliance
with regulation (HK
Convention)
• Incentive to ensure
responsible recycling
• Improved ship designs

12. Benefits
… if we work together
• Pilot projects are the
basis for demonstrating
these benefits
• Long-term success
requires recyling to be
adapted at global scale
• More users with
collective ownership

13. Key messages
• There is a commercial and environmental imperative
to significantly improve recycling
• We believe there is commercial advantage to both
ship owners and ship recyclers to have effective
systems to track materials through the supply chain
• Over 18 months we’ll be undertaking pilot projects to
test and demonstrate the practicalities and
commercial potential of closed loop materials
management

14. Get involved – who and why?
We will be consulting widely with the industry:
• Recyclers and Brokers who want to help
unlock value from the ships they buy
• Builders and Manufactures who want to
improve supply chain management and
sustainability performance
• Owners who want to take advantage of
improved materials management
