Marine Boats Industry to reduce Petroleum-Based Plastics in Outboard Motor Packaging
By Combining Biodegradable Green Planet™ Shipping Material With Specially Shaped Corrugated Cardboard, Evinrude, Honda, Mercury, Suzuki Tohatsu, Torqeedo, Yamaha Outboards Will Be Protected While Protecting The Environment.
Marine Outboard Motor SG announced today that outboard motors will soon arrive from Evinrude, Honda, Mercury, Suzuki Tohatsu, Torqeedo, Yamaha Motor Company in specialized packaging developed to significantly reduce overall waste and the use of petroleum-based plastics.
This will be achieved through two important changes: First, Outboard Motor is replacing traditional polystyrene foam packing material with Green Planet™, a biodegradable polymer developed by Kaneka Corporation that is easily decomposable in seawater and is made from 100-percent biomass-derived polymers.

The Mercury Jet is designed to get you through some of the most challenging waters anywhere. Specifically engineered to propel boats in shallow water where traditional outboards are unable to operate, Mercury outboard jets replace the gear case with a jet pump that sits even with the bottom of the boat and provides you with the ability to go wherever the fish or fowl are. Mercury outboards are also the power of choice for rescue boats, providing a secure environment around the engine. No matter the adventure, a Mercury Jet outboard will get you there. The Mercury Jet stainless impeller improves performance and withstands harsh, abrasive debris that can be drawn through the pump, such as sand and shells. That ability adds to long-term durability and reliability.
