Innovative natural fiber products are a growing market due to their functional properties in many applications as textiles, technical applications, lightweight materials. Moreover, the enhanced use of natural fibers can contribute to the achievement of climate targets by the reduction of consumption of fossil resources and energy.
Currently, there are various technologies, upcoming and already on the market, worldwide to process natural fibers. The NATURALfiberEXTRACTION Congress aims to create a platform for all stakeholders involved in the supply chain - from farmers to users – to get an overview of the different technologies, to share experiences and to provide a decision support for building an effective, economic, and reliable supply chain for natural fibers.
The NATURALfiberEXTRACTION Congress intends to promote sustainable business, showing solutions to effec-tively process plant-based raw materials and residues into fibers for clothing, home textiles and technical applica-tions. The focus of the congress is on industrialized fiber extraction, as this is where fiber and textile technology know-how is most needed.
THE Congress NATURALfiberEXTRACTION will take place under the scientific coordination of PD Dr.-Ing. Thomas Stegmaier and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Milwich (DITF).
