Vaan launches world’s first recyclable yacht with Hydro recycled aluminium

EDITED BY : 2MINS READ

The Dutch start-up Vaan presents the world’s most sustainable luxury sailing yacht made almost entirely of circular materials, including recycled aluminium. The Vaan R4 is a catamaran built with 75 percent recycled aluminium from Hydro.

“One of the biggest industry challenges today is that many of the products designed and produced are too difficult or expensive to take apart and recycle when they are no longer in use. We are proud to work with a visionary company like Vaan to address these challenges, and to contribute to the first recyclable yacht, which is built with our 75 percent recycled aluminium,” said Marijn Rietveld, Director Offshore and Marine in Hydro.

The Vaan R4 is made from circular materials that can be recycled when it is no longer in use. A key material in the yacht is the Hydro 75R alloy, made of minimum 75 percent recycled post-consumer metal, which is now used at sea for the first time, according to Hydro press release.

Igor Kluin, founder and CEO of Vaan said:“The yacht industry is quite a traditional industry where sustainability is not a top priority, which is why we wanted to make a luxury yacht with no negative impact to the environment. Developing a truly circular solution requires collaboration along the entire value chain. Hydro’s expertise has been invaluable in making this a truly circular product with recycled aluminium.”

The Vaan R4 yacht is available for pre-order from February 2019.
