Procurement of collection, recycling or destruction of recreational boats and two-stroke engines with carburetors through subsidy

The Havs- och vattenmyndigheten in Sweden from Europe region has released this tender for Sweden lacks a long-term and coherent national system for the disposal and recycling of recreational boats and two-stroke engines with carburetors. However, there are several actors who accept and scrap recreational boats for a fee from the person who returns the boat. The responsibility and costs associated with scrapping lie with the last owner and can in some cases result in end-of-life recreational boats being abandoned. There are already many recreational boats without a known owner both on municipal land and with non-profit associations (such as boat clubs). Today, there may be up to 400,000 boats approaching their “best-before date” and up to 35,000 already abandoned recreational boats. Recreational boats that are not disposed of and recycled can contribute to further littering and pollution of nature and aquatic environments. Many of the boats are over 40 years old and are therefore approaching the expected end of their service life. Most are plastic boats that have been dumped or are at risk of being dumped in nature. with tender notice no. 719100-2026 published on 19 Oct 2026. The tender is due to expire on 09 Nov 2026.
