Shipping has focussed on fuels as the one factor it can control in the push to decarbonise, but the creation of a truly sustainable industry will require a more holistic ‘lifecycle’ approach. The concept of a circular economy requiring us to reduce, reuse, refurbish and recycle should be a sustainability slam dunk, but it requires cross sectoral collaboration, global regulation and business model innovation – all challenges this industry has traditionally struggled to overcome. So how do we close the loop on the circular economy for shipping?
