Rotomould recycling

Originally posted by JimC Clearly then one should separate hulls and decks on old toppers and save them up until there are enough to make a delivery to a recycler cost effective. And defining a boat that will hopefully be used hundreds of times over its lifetime as single use is ****wit stupid... Possibly what would be ideal would be for the manufacturers to provide a service by which they'll pick up an old boat while delivering the new one, and the old ones get hull and deck cut apart, stacked in a corner of the yard then recycled in batches.

in the case of the topper  where  the hull is  mainly the two monolithic  injection mouldings  splitting  for recycling  makes sense as the only 'mixed colour' part is the  seam area which iirc  has  wire in it  to aid the bonding  process 

boats are not 'single use 'plastics  -  that's  straws , (cheap) plastic cutlery,  cheap plastic / foam  takeaway containers  , plastic cleaning product / toiletry / cosmetic packs  etc etc etc
