Panel discussion – Advancing Prefabricated Construction with Composite Technologies

Prefabricated construction offers a range of compelling advantages, including reduced construction time, enhanced quality control, and a highly efficient, controlled manufacturing environment that significantly minimises waste — far surpassing the conventional building model where multiple trades operate externally on-site.

The panel will discuss the significant opportunities emerging from the cross-pollination between the plastics industry and the construction sector, highlighting how integrating supply chains and manufacturing practices is reshaping the future of building.
