An environmentally friendly approach 🌎 💚 for every usage are the 3R – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle!
It’s valid as well as for boat building, as the construction of our shipyard or our daily life!
1) We are doing everything to prevent ❌ to buy new or produce something which we don’t need or where there is already something available.
2) When we have already something we are trying to keep it, to repair 🔧 it to continue using it.
3) And when the two previously named solutions are not possible, we are recycling ♻️ it, to recover materials to make something new out of it.
A sample for what we are regularly using in boat building ⛵, is a cutout from a deck panel, which might be reuse as a reinforcement plate under deck equipment like a block or a padeye.
So, the cutout is not thrown away and I don’t need new material for the reinforcement.
Another sample from the construction 🏗️ of our shipyard is the reuse of styrofoam blocks which were delivered as protection for our wall panels. Instead of letting the construction teams throwing them into the garbage bin, we collected them, stored them and now the get a second life as the floor insulation of our reception.
So waste is avoided as well as resources for the making of new insulation material.
What are you reducing – reusing – recycling in your daily life or in your job 🤔💚🌊🌎?
