The ECCA has been set up by the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) which represents European national composites associations and industry-specific sector groups at EU level.
It was launched in 2025 to establish a circular economy for composites in Europe. It provides a platform for knowledge sharing and cooperation, driving collective action to establish truly circular, sustainable value chains for composite materials. It will set and achieve targets on the use of recovered and recycled composites, develop standards for circular product design and provide a forum for the industry.
Stakeholders across the composites value chain can join the ECCA by signing the declaration. They can then join one of the five working groups, from aerospace to construction to policy/regulation.
In a changing political landscape, the implementation of circular economy strategies presents significant potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing fossil fuel use and altering trade dynamics. Circular economy strategies related to material reduction, reuse and recovery complement industrial decarbonisation measures and have the potential to double GHG savings by 2050.
Through a multi-method analysis, this study shows that an ambitious circular economy scenario can yield substantial annual GHG savings across selected energy-intensive sectors and decrease EU imports, reducing trade dependency and increasing the trade balance by over EUR 30 billion compared to the decarbonised baseline.
This workshop will bring together six EU-funded projects representing an ecosystem of 80 organisations driving innovation towards catalyst circularity and greener production in the EU.
The Nordic Circular Summit is the largest annual conference on circular economy in the Nordics, a gathering point for changemakers, policymakers, researchers and businesses driving the transition to a regenerative circular economy.
This year's summit will focus on Circular frontiers: Shaping our future - From remote realities to global blueprints: How Arctic & Nordic communities can shape the next wave of circular innovation.
This webinar will explore the forthcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) requirements and their potential impact on the fashion and textile industry, with a particular focus on small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU.
The European Environment Agency (EEA) has just published a report on 'Europe’s environment and climate: knowledge for resilience, prosperity and sustainability'. It is the most comprehensive analysis of the state of play of and outlook for the continent’s environment, climate and sustainability, building on data from across 38 countries.
