Progress on Implementing Sustainable Practices in Composites

Sustainability in composites manufacturing involves more than just material selection. It is a deliberate approach to minimizing environmental impact through a product’s entire lifecycle. With shifting environmental regulation and increasing market demand for greener solutions, the industry is moving beyond traditional linear manufacturing toward a circular economy.

This webinar explores the progress of implementing sustainable practices by reframing sustainability as an efficiency problem. The design, manufacturing, and post production phases will be explored, highlighting emerging approaches being implemented throughout the industry. Practical examples will illustrate how design decisions, manufacturing methods, and supply-chain considerations influence the environmental footprint of composite structures. Past projects will be presented.

Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how sustainability principles can be incorporated into composites engineering and manufacturing. Whether you are involved in R&D, design, or production management, this talk offers insight into how to transform sustainability from a secondary thought to a core manufacturing advantage.
