The European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) has launched the European Circular Composites Alliance (ECCA), a new initiative aimed at advancing the circularity of composite materials across European industries. EBI is among the signatories supporting the alliance and will be representing the views of the recreational boating industry in the Alliance.

ECCA brings together stakeholders from the composites value chain to coordinate efforts on increasing the reuse, repurposing, and recycling of composites. The alliance will work to define realistic and measurable targets for circularity, promote standardisation for circular product design, and support knowledge exchange among industry, research and policymakers.

By creating a common platform, ECCA seeks to address the challenges currently limiting the circular use of composites, including technical barriers, market uptake, and the lack of harmonised definitions or guidelines. The initiative is intended to complement existing EU objectives on the circular economy and contribute to building more sustainable industrial value chains.
