EBI: European Boating Industry

Under the umbrella of EBI, key market players are jointly tackling the boating industry’s sustainability challenge and bringing it ahead of the curve. A group of 16 leading recreational boat manufacturers and 8 industry associations has come together to develop the first-ever environmental footprint methodology for recreational boats under 24 meters. It will be backed up by a database and assessment tool to allow small and large manufacturers to access the green transition. The threshold of 24 meters has been chosen to align with EU regulations. It will be based on a coherent Life Cycle Assessment approach following the stringent EU Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules.

How Quantis can help

Access the green transition without greenwashing, reduce environmental impact and proactively shape the global regulatory approach.

A proactive approach to sustainable boating

The EBI project involves two phases, the first focusing on developing a science-based and transparent environmental footprint methodology to harmonize calculation rules. In the second phase, the focus shifts to implementing this with a comprehensive materials database and user-friendly calculation tool. This allows manufacturers to conduct ecodesign and comprehensively reduce environmental impact, as well as communicate the environmental footprint to consumers, stakeholders and regulators. It will go beyond carbon emissions and include other critical environmental indicators.
