Home Why Composites Sustainability and Composites

Sustainability and Composites

Creating a lower carbon future through innovative composite materials -- from replacing energy-intensive building materials to pioneering low-energy water purification.

Wind turbines — composites enabling renewable energy

Around the world, our work is dedicated to creating a lower carbon future -- from replacing outdated energy-intensive building materials, to pioneering new, low-energy ways to purify waste water. To us, sustainability and innovation go hand in hand, so we invest in intensive research, development and testing to enhance the performance of our composites still further.

And because sustainability begins at home, we are constantly working on ways to minimise our impact on the communities around us -- with the utmost respect for local environmental protection and stewardship. BFG is a sustainable business, working together to shape a sustainable future.

Zero Toxins

FRP composites produce no fumes, residue or toxins in the environment

Minimal Waste

Tailor-made moulds minimise material waste throughout production

Decades of Life

Weather, mould and termite resistant — far less repair and replacement than traditional materials

Composites and the Environment

BFG's world leading FRP composites are completely benign in the environment -- producing no fumes, residue or toxins. They are weather, mould and termite resistant, and require far less repair and replacement than the traditional materials they are designed to supersede, with a life expectancy of many decades.

Safe, strong and lightweight, composites are perfect for highly specific, tailor-made moulds that minimise waste, and are designed to perform in a range of the most demanding applications in sectors as diverse as infrastructure and leisure.
