Abstract
Any hint of a potential new market for reinforced plastics is clearly of interest. So the fact that fibreglass and wood-plastic composites (WPC) are making inroads against traditional wood, steel and cement materials in the marina industry is worthy of comment, despite the inherently low-tech nature of this infrastructure. George Marsh investigates.
