Our call to participate in the most
recent edition of JEC World held in
Paris from 3-5 May 2022 was met
with positive responses from many
of you. And over the three days,
we were thrilled to be able to meet
you all again, to exchange views,
and to witness how the composite
materials industry is flourishing
and developing.
At the end of a difficult period
wrought with lockdowns and travel
restrictions, in addition to troubles
related to production (supply chain
and material prices, in particular),
it
is evident that our industry is
capable of great resilience in the
face of adversity.
And so, a rich array of innovations
and applications were on display at
the show, organised into an everbroader
and increasingly valuable
offering of conference programmes
and themed meetings.
Were additional proof necessary,
the composite materials industry
could provide the evidence for its
considerable capacity to adapt,
and to capitalise on its culture of
innovation and continued forward
march. In this issue, you'll find a
post-show dossier that will give you
the opportunity to reflect on the
big trends that have emerged from
JEC World 2022.
As we exit this difficult period,
we have not forgotten the crises
and the major changes still to
come. The issue of raw materials
procurement is obviously one of
these, soaring energy prices are,
too. Now is the time to optimise
development
plans,
what
in
spite
remains uncertain. What
sustainable development were the
common denominator that enabled
us to solve this complex equation?
Rethinking production chains from
the angle of geographical proximity,
procurement
from
resources
that are less dependent upon
petrochemicals and more reliant
on bio-based sources, mastering
waste management across the value
chain, and making the choice to
develop
materials
circularity...
This would send a strong message
that we are a responsible industry,
on the vanguard of technological
developments,
and that we
are
mindful of controlling the overall
carbon footprint of our activities.
This month's main feature is
therefore devoted to the topic of
sustainability, the many approaches
and existing solutions and those
that are coming to fruition.
Here's wishing you a great read.
