♻️ Recycling end-of-life composites through cement: the technology is here Today’s webinar: "Sustainable Recycling of End-of-Life Boats and Composites", highlighted a crucial takeaway: the technology to recycle composites through cement co-processing is ready and available. The next big step? Creating a strong supply chain to support the consistent flow of end-of-life materials and bring this sustainable solution to scale. This will pave the way for all recycling technologies. A special thank you to our speakers: 🔹 Thomas Wegman, The European Composites Industry Association; EuCIA , for presenting the LCA study on co-processing EoL composites. 🔹 Anu Söderena, Kuusakoski Recycling, for sharing insights from Finland’s KiMuRa project case study. 🙏 Thank you to all participants and speakers in today’s webinar on sustainable recycling of end-of-life boats and composites! For EBI members and partners who couldn’t attend, please email office@europeanboatingindustry.eu to request the recording. #CircularEconomy #SustainableRecycling #EndOfLifeBoats

📢 Last Call for tomorrow’s EBI webinar: Cement co-processing as a solution for recycling of end-of-life boats and composites Join us on 13 November, 11:00-12:00 CET, for a focused session on the role of cement co-processing in recycling end-of-life boats and composites. This exclusive members-only webinar will cover insights from the latest Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report, including key findings such as: 🔸 Significant CO₂ Reduction: Co-processing reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 411 kg per ton of composite waste, compared to incineration’s 347-719 kg emissions per ton. 🔸 Circular Material Use: Glass and resin from EoL composites serve as both fuel and raw materials in cement production, creating a sustainable cycle. 📅 Agenda: 🔹 LCA Study on Co-Processing EoL Composites in Cement Facilities – Thomas Wegman, The European Composites Industry Association; EuCIA 🔹 The Finnish KiMuRa Project Case Study – Anu Söderena, Kuusakoski Recycling 🔹 Q&A Session Don’t miss the chance to learn how to turn these findings into practice across boating, wind energy, and cement sectors. 🔗 EBI members, register by emailing office@europeanboatingindustry.eu #CircularEconomy #SustainableRecycling #EndOfLifeBoats #EBI
