Florida Cruise Industry Rope Recycling Initiative nominated for Seatrade Award
04-06-2018Lankhorst Ropes’ Florida Cruise Industry Rope Recycling Initiative has been nominated for the Seatrade Corporate Social Responsibility award. Available at the main cruise terminals in Florida, the initiative allows retired ropes to be repurposed as picnic sets, plastic poles, planks and even complete landing stages, riverbank bank protection boards and bridges.
Cruise lines use some of the most innovative recycling, reducing and reusing strategies in the world. The Mooring Rope Recycling Initiative will assist the cruise lines in going further by repurposing synthetic fibre mooring lines previously sent to landfill. The Lankhorst rope recycling initiative is scheduled to become available at the following cruise terminals: Port of Miami, Port Everglades and Port Canaveral.
“We were delighted to announce the cruise industry’s first mooring rope recycling scheme,” says Feike-Jan Bergstra, area sales manager, Lankhorst Ropes. “Lankhorst’s initiative will allow cruise lines to dispose of their retired mooring lines in a sustainable way, reducing the impact on landfill and increasing recycling volumes.”
Proven Rope Recycling Scheme
Over 15 years ago, Lankhorst Ropes introduced the rope industry's first recycling scheme for retired maritime ropes. Since then it has repurposed many tons of mooring ropes for a new life in a variety of applications. Lankhorst Ropes is part of the Royal Lankhorst Euronete Group which is also one of Europe's leading plastics recyclers. When ropes are returned, a confirmation of receipt for recycling is issued.

Many Lankhorst ropes are already recycled, including Tipto®, Euroflex®, Eurofloat® Premium and Strongline. Ropes which can join the recycling process are supplied with a works certificate containing the rope's unique number and recycling scheme logo.
