The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) is pleased to announce that the Polish Cluster of Composite Technologies (PKTK) has joined the association. PKTK expands EuCIA’s existing network of national composites industry associations and industry-specific sector groups. Through its members, EuCIA now represents 85% of the European composites market*. Established in 2017, PKTK is a platform […]
The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) and the European Aerospace Cluster Partnership (EACP) have signed a letter of intent (LOI) outlining areas of potential cooperation. EuCIA represents European national composites associations and industry-specific sector groups at EU level. EACP is a network of 45 European aerospace clusters from 18 countries that aims to strengthen Europe’s […]
Our nine industry associations1 have commissioned SGS INTRON to prepare a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report exploring the environmental impacts of treating End-of-Life (EoL) composites by co-processing in a cement facility. The independent and peer-reviewed LCA report confirms the positive environmental impact of this end-of-life solution for glass fibre reinforced thermoset composites which are used […]
Composites are sustainable materials and essential for realising the European Green Deal’s net-zero targets. Using the latest information and examples, the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) can now also demonstrate that composites are truly circular materials. Over the coming months EuCIA will share its knowledge on composites circularity through a series of publications on its […]
JEC Group and the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) have signed a three-year agreement to join forces in Europe to further promote the benefits of composite materials and their role in realising a net-zero future. This partnership strengthens the existing collaboration between the two organisations and will strategically support the composites ecosystem with new services […]
The International Composites Summit (ICS) is pleased to announce that the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) is returning as a supporter of the exhibition. ICS is the single place to do the most cost effective and sustainable composites business in the UK, and will take place on 6 – 7 September 2023 at the Marshall […]
Seven industry associations working on increasing the circularity of composite materials have published a statement highlighting the important role cement co-processing can play in treating end-of-life composite materials. Together, WindEurope, EuCIA, CEMBUREAU, EBI, Cefic UP/VE, Cefic Epoxy Europe and Glass Fibre Europe call on policymakers to recognise these benefits and facilitate the upscaling of co-processing […]
The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) will launch its new visual identity at JEC World 2023 in Paris on April 25th-27th. The association will also present a major update of its Eco Impact Calculator which will enable users to obtain more accurate life cycle assessment (LCA) calculations for their composite products. The new branding reinforces […]
The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) has issued a fact sheet outlining progress towards the new Eurocode for composites, which is set to put composite materials on the same level as conventional construction materials. The publication of CEN Technical Standard (CEN/TS) 19101: Design of Fibre-Polymer Composite Structures, the future Eurocode for composites, starts a trial […]
JEC Composites Magazine interviewed Roberto Frassine, President of EuCIA, the European Composites Industry Association, about the sustainability and circularity of the composites industry. This article is reproduced with the kind permission of JEC. Professor Roberto Frassine has been an expert in the viscoelastic properties of polymers and composites for thirty years, with more than 70 […]
