THE Congress –
NATURALfiberEXTRACTION

Industrial processing of renewable raw and residual materials
Focus: Natural fiber extraction and biopolymers

09th October 2024
NATURALfiber­EXTRACTION

The 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 fibres. In an accompanying exhibition and in a start-up and material slam companies and institutes present their competencies and offer opportunity for dialog. Selected start-ups will also give you the opportunity to get to know young companies and their innovative ideas and products.
