EBI proudly participated in JEC World 2025 in Paris, a global event for the composites sector. The event highlighted the latest innovations and applications of composite materials, also showing the rising importance in the marine industry and the push towards sustainability.

One of the highlights was the panel discussion titled “Setting Sail Towards Sustainability: Composites in the Marine Industry,” moderated by EBI Secretary-General Philip Easthill. The session featured perspectives from across the value chain, stressing how technological advancements, circular practices, and cross-sector collaboration are shaping the future of boatbuilding.

Additionally, EBI was honoured to be part of EuCIA’s General Assembly, where we presented our initiatives and strengthened our collaboration with the composites sector. The discussions emphasised the strong alignment between our industries, especially as both are increasingly required to use low-impact materials, ensure recyclability, and design sustainable products.

Our partnership with EuCIA and the broader composites community is central as the boating industry continues to evolve towards a greener, more circular economy.
