  • Develop capability in life cycle assessment (and costing) to show the benefits of composites
  • R&D to integrate industrial biotechnology into the supply chain and optimise value of natural fibres
  • Reduce waste and develop energy efficient manufacturing technologies
  • Develop best practice in design and business models for environment
