Our history
Innovative Ship Recycling Solutions Backed by Over 20 Years of Experience
Green Mac was founded by practitioners, not investors. Our team has spent over two decades working in ship recycling and machinery manufacturing on the yard, on the ships, in the process itself. That experience is the foundation of everything we build.
In 2022, we incorporated Green Mac Ltd. as a dedicated R&D company, funded entirely from our own active recycling operations in Turkey. No external capital. No grants. No compromise on technical direction. Every system we have developed has been paid for by the work we already know how to do.
In 2025, we relocated our R&D centre to Vlissingen, Netherlands. Our Turkish operations continue to run alongside active robotic automation and machinery trading, generating the revenue that funds the next generation of technology.
How we work
Green Mac develops its software and hardware systems with its own engineering teams. We have built an advanced engineering infrastructure that goes far beyond what is expected of a ship recycling company from robot control systems and digital twins to AI-driven cutting optimisation and autonomous logistics. Every system is designed, developed, and tested on real ship components entirely in-house.
We have developed many industry-first systems. We are the first to deploy robotic cutting in ship recycling in a real operational setting, the first to systematically measure and filter cutting gases, and the first to make the entire process remotely operable.
What makes Green Mac truly unique is its hybrid structure: we are the only company in the world that simultaneously develops the technology and actively uses it in its own operations. Every system we build has to work in real conditions that makes us a field-driven technology company, not a laboratory.
Our systems are ready and waiting to be deployed at full scale. We are currently looking for the right location in the Benelux region for our permanent European operations site.
