Negative carbon footpinrt marine decking

Navicork FD01, the innovative high-density cork solution for marine decks developed by Amorim Cork Composites, has been confirmed to have a negative carbon footprint through an external study conducted by ITECONS. This validation strengthens the leadership position of the Navicork by Amorim brand in promoting a more sustainable future for the maritime industry, encouraging the sector to adopt innovative solutions with a positive environmental impact.

The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study conducted by ITECONS1, an independent entity, and in compliance with EN ISO 14040, EN ISO 14044, and EN 15804 standards, revealed that each square metre of Navicork FD01 material sequesters more CO₂ than it emits throughout the entire production process, from raw material extraction to factory output (“cradle-to-gate”). As the marine industry embraces greener practices, Navicork FD01 provides boat builders and owners with an impactful way to reduce their environmental footprint. Beyond its sustainable advantages, Navicork FD01 also delivers high-performance technical features, including thermal and acoustic insulation, anti-slip properties, a comfortable soft touch, and versatile design options.
