German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) has bagged the ‘Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year’ award. The DITF were nominated during the “International Conference on Cellulose Fibres 2022”, which took place in Cologne from 2 to 3 January.

For the second time, the nova Institute for Ecology and Innovation honored outstanding scientific research that provides sustainable solutions for the cellulose fibre value chain at the “International Conference on Cellulose Fibres 2022”. With the topic “Carbon Fibres from Wood”, the DITF Denkendorf presented itself in the middle of a current research field that provides resource-saving alternatives to fossil-based fibres.

The conference is an international forum for the development of new cellulose fibres and materials and their manufacturing processes. Exhibitors include leading fibre manufacturers; participants come from thirteen countries. The six competitors nominated for the award presented themselves with products that combine sustainable production processes with new technologies and applications to form cellulose-based materials.
