The first International Conference covering cellulose fibers, organized by nova-Institute, will take place from 11–12 February 2020 in Cologne, Germany.
According to the institute, the market for cellulose fibers in textiles has had a cumulated annual growth rate (CAGR) of at least 10% over the last ten years, making them the fastest growing fiber group in the textile industry and the largest investment sector in the bio-based economy worldwide.
The high growth rates are driven by the demand for natural fibers, the microplastic problem and possible bans for plastic fibers, nova-Institute says.
The new conference will cover the value chain of cellulose fibers and a wide range of applications.
