Composite materials are now increasingly used worldwide for construction and infrastructure projects. This is why the JEC teams are pleased to intensify the dialogue with professionals in these sectors, including architects.
Composite materials are recognised for their flexibility of use, allowing unique buildings to see the light of day. However, we cannot reduce composite materials only to exceptional works when they are also sought after for their durability, corrosion resistance, solidity, lightness, and the little maintenance they require, as many advantages make them materials of the future. Furthermore, and this is not the least important in the “Green Deal” era, they allow buildings and infrastructures to obtain better energy and environmental performance.
For all these reasons, the penetration of composites has increased in the building and infrastructure sector in recent years. This is especially true since they are highly resistant to weather, water, fire, electricity, and shock. This makes it possible to design safer buildings, especially in the event of a natural disaster.
In short, composite materials bring new solutions for the future to our civilisations, which are currently experiencing a demographic peak and the need to better manage available natural resources. In the service of building better and living better.
JEC Group, founded in 1963, is a non-profit organization entirely dedicated to the promotion of composite materials and the development of their applications on a global scale. Publisher of the JEC Composites Magazine, the industry's leading media, JEC organises several events around the world, including JEC World, the leading international trade fair dedicated to composites and their applications, which takes place each year in Paris. JEC's media, events and digital channels connect a global community of professionals from the composites industry and their multiple application sectors, to encourage knowledge sharing, meetings and the promotion of innovations. “Connecting the world with composites”, thus is the motto of JEC.
