Info: Join the Panel Discussion on Innovating for Sustainable Lignocellulosic Feedstocks!
1st International Conference on Cellulose Fibres
11 - 12 February 2020, Maternushaus, Cologne, Germany - almost 200 participants from 26 countries registered.
The 1st International Conference on Cellulose Fibres aims at first-rate discussions between speakers and participants and will therefore include several panel discussions. There will be one after each 
session, and in addition as a highlight of the first day, a larger panel discussion, which will tackle the pressing question for alternative cellulosic feedstocks. Stakeholders from all over the value chain – alternative feedstock provider (re:newcell), environmental NGO (Canopy), textile brand (Esprit) and a systemic partnership (GIZ Partnership for Sustainable Textiles) – will discuss recent developments of the sector, highlights, shortfalls and challenges from many angles. We look forward to a highly informative session with active involvement not only of the panel, but also by the audience.
