The Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) has recently welcomed Dr Jack Dury, a Civil Service Fast Streamer, on a 6 month secondment to identify how academia, the National Composites Centre (NNC) and industry can best influence and inform future policy making and practice so that composite materials are utilised to their full potential to meet the global challenge of Net Zero.
The work will identify policy blockers, workshop solutions through engagement with the composites community, and summarise findings in a white paper. The white paper will make the case for composites, describe the policy blockers and how Governments can support the composites industry, in addition to what the future regulatory landscape will look like and potential solutions.
To support the work, please complete this survey on your experiences of the industrial use of composite materials and government policy. The findings will be disseminated widely in autumn 2024.
