Maritime - Cowes, England, United Kingdom
MarineShift360 is an industry-led collaboration delivering a marine life cycle assessment (LCA) tool that facilitates smart choices within design and manufacturing processes.Motivated by consumer demand and expected changes to legislation, the marine industry is under the spotlight to make advances in closed-loop product design, moving away from the linear ‘take-make-waste' approach and towards a circular economy. In collaboration with founding sponsor 11th Hour Racing, an international organisation that harnesses the power of sport to innovate change for the health of our oceans, MarineShift360 is actively developing its LCA tool to equip the industry with the means to understand product sustainability. With extensive expertise in life cycle assessment, software development and the marine industry, Anthesis Group (a global leader in sustainability services and solutions) is responsible for the custom build of MarineShift360's LCA tool. This tool quantifies the environmental impacts of a product's full life cycle, from raw materials to disposal, ultimately allowing the user to make informed decisions at the design stage to mitigate such impacts. MarineShift360 is currently working with seven Pilot Partners to develop and tailor the tool to the unique needs of marine businesses in a bid to empower the wider industry to make smart choices within design and manufacturing processes. The project will accept new Pilot Partnerships until June 2019 with a view to further enhacing the performance of the tool. This is a life cycle assessment tool being built by the industry, for the industry, and will be commercially released in late 2019.
