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 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.

So far more than 160 organisations have joined the ECCA since its official launch in May 2025, confirming the composites industry’s commitment to accelerating the EU’s green transition.

Membership of the ECCA is free of charge and all members are invited to attend the first General Assembly. This event will bring together ECCA and EuCIA members, representatives from the European Commission and the press, to discuss the ECCA’s goals with EU policymakers and confirm the next steps on the European composites industry’s journey to a sustainable, circular and competitive future. The ECCA's five working groups will present their objectives and progress.

The ECCA's first General Assembly will take place in person and in English on 4 December at the Square in Brussels. You need to join the ECCA first and then you will receive an invitation to the meeting. Provisional programme.
