Sustainability as a key driver for the use of composites, and the need for life cycle assessment (LCA) methods that provide reliable, reproducible results, were highlighted during last week's Lightweight, Durable and Sustainable Composites seminar organised by the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA).

Sustainability is becoming an ever more compelling argument in the materials selection process. Composite parts are extremely durable and have a long service life combined with low maintenance requirements, and lightweight composites result in lower energy consumption throughout a product's life. End of use solutions, including recycling, are also available.
