Circular infrastructure innovation earns top honour at East Anglia event
Dura Composites has been named the Gamechanger winner at the East Anglia Clean and Green Awards, recognising the company’s pioneering work in redefining how the construction industry approaches composite waste.
The Clean and Green Awards celebrate organisations, projects and individuals across East Anglia that are driving the transition to a more sustainable future. The awards focus on innovations that deliver measurable environmental impact while supporting long-term industry change.
A breakthrough for composite circularity
Judges recognised Dura for developing a world-first closed-loop approach to repurposing glass reinforced polymer (GRP) composites, a breakthrough that enables the creation of a fully recyclable composite material.
For decades, GRP has been valued for its strength, durability and low maintenance requirements. However, at end of life it has traditionally been treated as waste, with limited recycling options available. Dura’s innovation challenges this long-held assumption and creates a future where large-scale infrastructure can be delivered using 100% recycled and recyclable composite material.
As highlighted by the judging panel, Dura has addressed one of the most complex material challenges facing both the construction and clean energy industries. Its scalable process transforms waste GRP into new high-performance infrastructure products, without compromising on safety, performance or compliance.
Supporting net zero without compromise
The award reinforces Dura’s position as a world leader in circular infrastructure innovation, and underlines the growing importance of circular solutions for the future of construction and green energy.
As infrastructure providers face increasing pressure to align with net-zero targets while maintaining technical performance and regulatory compliance, solutions that combine technical credibility with measurable environmental impact are becoming essential.
Dura’s award-winning approach demonstrates that circularity can be delivered at scale, without compromise. It provides a future-proof, commercially viable pathway for infrastructure projects where sustainability, reliability and performance must go hand in hand.
