Our commitment is exemplified through initiatives such as the Climate Impacts Project. This project focuses on providing essential tools, resources, and education for composite manufacturers to assess their climate impacts. By addressing these impacts, we ensure members are well-equipped to meet customer demands for transparent and sustainable practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational resources for LCAs and EPDs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For success in sustainability-driven markets, like infrastructure and automotive, composites manufacturers must understand and be able to deploy concepts and tools such as Lifecycle Analysis, Environmental Product Declaration, carbon accounting, and ESG. ACMA should be the source of information and education on sustainability for composites manufacturers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Case Studies (Coming Soon)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sustainability &amp; LCA Tutorial (part 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial Recycling Activity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Access a <a href=\"https:\/\/acmanet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ACMA-Recycling-Companies-List-August-2023.pdf\">curated list of companies<\/a> that perform composites recycling resources in an online resource compiled by the Recycling Resources Task Group from the Composites Sustainability Council (CSC).
