A hull that's recyclable nearly indestructable

Article Abstract:

Logic Marine of Durham, NC, manufactures a boat that is completely recyclable and almost indestructible. When the boat is retired from active use, the company's patented one-piece hull and boat design permits the boat's parts to be removed, the hull and deck ground up and then reused in a new water vessel. The low-density polyethylene hulls are nearly indestructible, with the capability to endure five times more impact compared to boats made with conventional fiberglass. The process used to manufacture the boats offers some production benefits, one of which is that there is no styrene resin emissions needed to be cleaned up.
