With seats being an important component of stadia, close attention is paid not only to their design but also to the materials they are made from.
The use of more sustainable materials for seat manufacturing can be a financially beneficial addition, as long as the product aligns with what the stadium will be used for.
The use of structural engineering plastics to replace steel componentry and advances in UV inhibitors and fire-retardant plastics provides for an increased product lifecycle, explains Camatic Stadium & Arena business developer for the UK, Europe & MENA, Sherif Harding.
