What if the docks, houseboats, and marinas gracing our rivers and seas did not just coexist with nature—but actively protected it? Thanks to a ground-breaking partnership between ExoTechnologies, a leader in sustainable composite technologies, and The Pontoon and Dock Company Ltd, the UK’s foremost supplier of floating pontoon systems, that future is now.
Together, these companies are introducing the world’s first 100% recyclable pontoon floats, a revolutionary innovation enabled by DANU Composite Technology. Launching in 2025, this breakthrough will debut across four key floating home developments in Yorkshire, Scotland, Hampshire, and Norfolk, offering 97% recyclable homes that set a new global benchmark in sustainable water-based living.
But the impact doesn’t stop there. These recyclable floats will also be made available to pontoon manufacturers and suppliers across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, sparking a wave of eco-friendly change in marine infrastructure worldwide.
Neill Walker, Head of Sustainability, at The Pontoon & Dock Company:
“We’re not just improving water quality—we’re transforming how industries approach sustainability. For the first time, marina operators, waterway planners, and homebuilders can choose solutions that align with their environmental values without compromising performance.”
The recyclable floats represent a leap forward in sustainable design, tackling the long-lasting damage caused by traditional materials like concrete, polystyrene, and plastic.
At the heart of this breakthrough is DANU Composite Technology, a material that redefines marine innovation. Unlike conventional options, DANU is lightweight, durable, and endlessly recyclable. Its unparalleled combination of performance and sustainability addresses one of the marine sector’s most urgent challenges: how to maintain functionality while reducing environmental impact.
Shane Mugan, Founder of ExoTechnologies, explains:
“DANU is more than just a material—it’s a mindset. Together with Pontoon & Dock, we are proving that sustainability can be powerful, scalable, and beautiful. This partnership challenges every assumption about how marine infrastructure should be built and rebuilt.”
Simon Nadin, Managing Director of The Pontoon & Dock Company, added:
“Every great innovation starts with a bold question. Ours was simple: Why settle for incremental progress when we can redefine the standard?
This partnership proves that innovation and sustainability aren’t just compatible—they’re inseparable.”
