Tenders Are Invited For Environmental Services - Procurement Of Collection, Recycling Or Destruction Of Recr ... in Sweden

Work Detail

Environmental Services - Procurement Of Collection, Recycling Or Destruction Of Recreational Boats And Two-Stroke Carburetor Engines Through Subsidy. Sweden Lacks A Long-Term And Coherent National System For Handling And Recycling Recreational Boats And Two-Stroke Engines With Carburetors. However, There Are Several Actors Who Receive And Scrap Recreational Boats For A Fee From The Person Who Returns The Boat. The Responsibility And Costs Associated With Scrapping Lie With The Last Owner And May In Some Cases Lead To End-Of-Life Recreational Boats Being Abandoned. There Are Already Many Leisure Boats Without A Known Owner Both On Municipal Land And With Non-Profit Associations (Such As Boat Clubs). Today, There May Be Up To 400,000 Boats Approaching Their Best Before Date And Up To 35,000 Already Abandoned Recreational Boats. Recreational Boats That Are Not Disposed Of And Recycled Can Contribute To Further Littering And Pollution Of Nature And Water Environments. Many Of The Boats Are Over 40 Years Old And Therefore Nearing The Expected End Of Their Useful Lives. Most Are Plastic Boats That Have Been Dumped Or Are At Risk Of Being Dumped In Nature.
