Introduction to Sustainability in Composites
February 20 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
£350Sustainability is a global priority with a huge drive for change. As a society, our passion for sustainability from a moral perspective has grown rapidly, and there are now strong zero carbon legislation targets mandated across industries in a bid to reduce their impact on the environment.
Today, composites already support the drive to a carbon neutral future, but there is more that we need to do.
