Some of the challenges faced by the Composites Industry in its bid to become more sustainable

Abstract

This growth has been possible due to the ability of the Composites Industry to respond to the needs and direction provided by its customer base. This article summarises some of the key challenges for the Composites Industry in light of the ongoing debate and discussion relating to the climate crisis, and the need to reduce the impact of operations and products on the environment. Some of the areas which would need to be addressed in order for the industry to continue to grow and thrive in the years ahead are also highlighted.
