SAMPE China 2026 Drives Green Composite Material Partnerships

Updated on July 02, 2026 • 3 min read

The SAMPE China 2026 Conference & Exhibition has become a platform for advancing sustainable composites, with two major cooperation agreements signed to accelerate the development and commercialization of green composite materials for aerospace, transportation and industrial applications.

The agreements, announced by ACC (Beijing) Science and Technology Co. Ltd. and AVIC Advanced Composite Technology Center (AVIC ACCTECH), focus on natural fiber composites, low-carbon resin technologies and industrial collaboration across China and Europe.

International Alliance Targets Natural Fiber Composite Industrialization

During the exhibition, five organizations signed a framework agreement to establish the International Green Composite Industrial Innovation Platform, bringing together expertise in materials research, investment and manufacturing.

The participating organizations include:

• ACC (Beijing) Science and Technology Co. Ltd.
• Fuzhou Digital Economy Investment Group Co. Ltd.
• Jiangxi Xunlong Aviation Technology Co. Ltd.
• Kogler Textile Collection & Development GmbH (Austria)
• Jiangxi Zhihang Composite Material Technology Co. Ltd.

The platform will leverage Jiangxi Province’s abundant ramie, bamboo, and other natural fiber resources to accelerate the industrialization of bio-based composite materials.

The partners plan to develop a complete industrial ecosystem covering:

• Natural fiber cultivation
• Material research and development
• Pilot-scale production
• Commercial manufacturing
• End-use applications
• International market expansion

The initiative supports broader sustainability goals, including China’s promotion of “bamboo replacing plastic” and global efforts to reduce carbon emissions through renewable composite materials.

AVIC ACCTECH Partners with Michelin on Green Resin Technologies

Alongside the natural fiber initiative, AVIC ACCTECH signed a cooperation statement with Michelin (Shanghai) Polymers Co. Ltd.

The collaboration combines AVIC’s expertise in composite process development and engineering verification with Michelin’s capabilities in developing:

• Low-formaldehyde resin systems
• Low-carbon composite materials
• Flame-retardant resin technologies

The companies will jointly conduct technical exchanges, research and material evaluations to accelerate the industrial deployment of high-performance green composites for aerospace and transportation applications.

Industry Perspective

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important driver of composite material innovation. Alongside carbon fiber and glass fiber technologies, manufacturers are investing in natural fiber composites and lower-carbon resin systems to reduce environmental impact while maintaining structural performance.

Collaborative platforms that connect raw material suppliers, technology developers and manufacturers are also helping shorten the path from laboratory research to commercial production, particularly for bio-based composite materials.

Outlook

The agreements announced at SAMPE China 2026 highlight growing momentum behind greener composite manufacturing in China. By combining natural fiber resources, advanced resin development and international collaboration, the new partnerships aim to accelerate commercialization of sustainable composite materials for aerospace, transportation and other industrial sectors, supporting both domestic manufacturing growth and global low-carbon initiatives.
