An international conference on cellulose fibers will be held in Germany, February 2 to 3, 2022.

Cellulose fibers are a true material miracle as they offer a steadily expanding, broad range of applications. Meanwhile markets are driven by technological developments and policy frameworks, especially bans and restrictions on plastics, as well as an increasing number of sustainability requirements. The presentations will provide valuable information on the various use-opportunities for cellulosic fibers through a policy overview, a special session on sustainability, recycling and alternative feedstocks as well as the latest developments in pulp, cellulosic fibers and yarns. In addition, examples of non-wovens, packaging and composites will offer a look beyond the horizon of conventional application fields.

The conference will highlight crucial issues with regard to the overall goal of keeping the environmental impact of cellulose fibers low. A core theme of the session will be the responsible use of wood and forests. With this objective, speakers of the session will discuss the importance of circular concepts for cellulose feedstocks. Exciting insights into the important Hot Button Reportwill be offered by Canopy. The Hot Button Report enables the producers of cellulose fibers to better understand the impact their raw materials have on forests and the climate development worldwide.
