EBI is actively engaged with the European Circular Composite Alliance (ECCA), an initiative led by the European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA) to support the development of more sustainable and circular solutions for composite materials in Europe. As composites are essential to the boatbuilding sector, this collaboration plays a key role in addressing challenges related to sustainability, recycling, and end-of-life management. 

Through its involvement in ECCA, EBI contributes the perspective of the recreational boating industry to discussions on the circularity of composite materials, recycling technologies and infrastructure, skills needs, and workforce development. Strengthening collaboration across the composites value chain is essential to scaling innovative and practical solutions. 

EBI will be part of 2 of the different working groups of the alliance to represent the needs and bring forward the advancement of the boating sector, which is at the forefront in terms of circularity and sustainability.  

EBI supports ECCA’s work in fostering cross-sector cooperation and aligning industry efforts with EU circular economy objectives, helping to advance a more sustainable and competitive European industrial ecosystem
