Sustainability

Van Plaggen boats are engineered for the planet

The future of boatbuilding

We build forward with respect for the planet, without compromise on luxury or reliability. Sustainability is not an afterthought at Van Plaggen, it is designed into every boat we create.

Our commitment

3D Printing technology
Large scale 3D printing allows us to rethink how boats are built. This technology makes it possible to use material with maximum efficiency, where every strand of filament has a purpose and any remainder can be reused. Instead of cutting away and wasting resources, we print directly with recycled composites sourced in the Netherlands. The material is fully circular, which means that every Van Plaggen hull can be given a second life, transformed into something new when its time on the water is done. This process reduces waste, improves efficiency and makes every Van Plaggen part of a smarter production cycle.

Sustainable propulsion
Sustainable propulsion is at the heart of every Van Plaggen. Today that means fully electric systems, offering silent and emission free cruising as our standard. Looking ahead, we continue to explore new technologies, from hybrid solutions to alternative energy sources, always with the same goal in mind: cleaner, quieter and more enjoyable time on the water, without compromise on comfort or reliability.

For Van Plaggen owners this translates into a unique kind of freedom. Sailing becomes effortless, serene and connected to the environment around you. It is boating the way it should be, where sustainability and pleasure move together.

At Van Plaggen we focus on constant innovation, always moving towards more sustainable solutions wherever possible. We believe it is the responsibility of boatbuilders to lead this transition and to make sustainability the standard, not the exception.
