The programme for the 1^st International Conference on Cellulose Fibres is now finalised, take a look at https://cellulose-fibres.eu/programme/.

 

We are happy to welcome 30 speakers from 13 different countries with various backgrounds. The mix of experts from leading companies and institutes will cover markets, latest technologies, alternative feedstocks and sustainability. Exciting presentations, lively exchange and best opportunities to network!

 

Cellulose fibres are a success story within the textiles market with a cumulated annual growth rate (CAGR) of at least 10% over the last ten years. This makes them the fastest growing fibre group in the textile industry and also the largest investment sector in the bio-based economy worldwide. The high growth rates are driven by the demand for natural fibres (and bottlenecks in cotton), the microplastic problem and possible bans for plastic fibres. All three drivers will continue to play a significant role in the future development of the sector. The conference will cover the entire value chain from the lignocellulosic feedstock, dissolving pulp, cellulose fibres – such as rayon, viscose, modal or lyocell and new developments, to a wide range of applications, woven textiles (clothing) and non-wovens (wipes and technical applications), as well as micro- and nanocellulose for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as well as biocomposites. All these sectors have significantly gained in dynamics over the last few years.

 

The feedback from the market on this first conference with a pure focus on cellulose fibres is even greater than expected. We expect now 300 participants and 30 exhibitors. Here you will find the already registered participants: https://www.cellulose-fibres.eu/participant-list/.
