The first annual National Composites Week starts today and continues through Friday, Aug. 30.
Organized and launched by A&P Technology (Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.), Hexcel (Stamford, Conn., U.S.) and CompositesWorld, National Composites Week will take place each year on the last full week of August, celebrating composites manufacturing, composites applications and the people and organizations that make it all happen.
This week, manufacturers from throughout the composites supply chain — raw material suppliers, convertors, designers, toolmakers, fabricators, educators, students — are encouraged to use social media, traditional media and in-person events to bring attention to their operations, capabilities and products.
Each day this week will also feature a theme to spotlight one of the many ways that composites affect and improve the world:
Monday, Aug. 26: Sustainability
Tuesday, Aug. 27: Improving lives
Wednesday, Aug. 28: Entertaining us
Thursday, Aug. 29: Protecting us
Friday, Aug. 30: Helping us explore
CW will be posting composites industry stories on our website and social media all week. Today’s post, “National Composites Week: Sustainability” highlights our most recent coverage of how the composites industry is working toward a more sustainable world.
It’s not too late to get involved! Visit www.NationalCompositesWeek.com for more information and to download free resources about how to participate, and use and follow the hashtag #nationalcompositesweek to join the celebration.
