Policy Priorities

ACMA works with Congress, Federal, and State government to develop and implement legislation, regulations, and other policies to ensure that composites are the sustainable material of preference and that ACMA is the key resource on composites technologies, and to provide timely insight to member on policy maters.

Invest in 21st century infrastructure solutions

We believe federal and state policymakers should greater deploy composites to make infrastructure perform better, last longer, and cost less over the course of its life.

Develop composite industry standards

We believe federal research initiatives focused on infrastructure should partner with the composites industry to identify and overcome barriers that limit wider adoption of composite materials in infrastructure markets.

Harness federal research programs

We believe federal material research programs addressing composites should be robust, reflect the depth and breadth of the industry, substantively engage small and medium enterprises, and focus on commercially viable solutions.

Increase and and quantify sustainability benefits

ACMA is working with members to meet the needs of government and private sector customers to quantify our environmental impact and benefits.
