EBI, together with WindEurope, EuCIA, CEMBUREAU, Cefic UP/VE, Cefic Epoxy Europe, and Glass Fibre Europe, has formed a coalition representing the value chain of the composites industry to find circular solutions for end-of-life composites. One of the joint actions is to advocate for the use of cement co-processing as a sustainable recycling solution.

Cement co-processing effectively reuses 100% of composite waste materials on a large scale, which benefits the environment by reducing the need for natural raw materials and fossil energy sources in cement production. However, the coalition calls for an EU regulatory framework to facilitate wider application of this approach. They propose the recognition of co-processing as a recycling process, the creation of a unified collection system for composite waste, the introduction of specific waste codes for end-of-life composites and a shift from landfilling to more sustainable recycling methods.
