Composites UK, the trade association dedicated to supporting the UK composites supply chain, has announced its inaugural session at Seawork 2024 in Southampton, sponsored by GRP Solutions, which is scheduled to take place on 11th June from 10am to 12noon.
The session aims to enlighten suppliers, manufacturers, and influencers attending Seawork about the pivotal role of composite materials in decarbonising the marine industry and advancing towards a circular lifespan for materials used in maritime settings.
Composites can play a vital role in reducing the environmental footprint of marine operations, and this session serves as a platform for industry stakeholders to delve into their transformative potential.
“We are excited to host our first session at Seawork 2024, bringing together key players in the marine industry to explore the immense potential of composite materials,” said Malcolm Forsyth, Sustainability Manager at Composites UK. “By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aim to catalyse efforts to decarbonise the marine sector and move it towards a greener and more sustainable future.”
