This year the London Boat Show recycled 27 tonnes of waste, including wood, plastic, cardboard, paper and metal – all of which will be turned into reusable products such as playground surfaces, bridleways, footpaths, and gardening products.

This represents 6% of the total waste produced and meant that £103.00 was raised for the aeo charity, Children in Crisis.

Prior to 2004, all waste from previous Boat Shows was disposed of in landfills or incineration facilities.
