Ship recycling is a pressing issue to handle due to bad conditions in South Asian countries. The objective of this paper is to explore how to integrate environmental aspects, especially recycling, in the product development process of ships at Kockums AB by developing and proposing an implementation of a tool, document and/or method. As a result, a Long-term Environmental Action Plan (LEAP) including 18 actions was developed. The proposed way of implementing LEAP was through plan-do -Act-check methodology by a systematic integration of ecodesign. LEAP includes tools, documents and methods that are to be used in daily work and product development.
