Germany to host cellulose fiber event

  

Cellulose Fiber Conference will be held in Germany, March 8 to 9, 2023.

The recycling of cellulose has some hurdles. How can technology overcome these obstacles? How can markets achieve a circularity of the material? How can the cellulose fiber industry contribute to the sustainability and circularity of the textile sector?

Globally, around 300 billion period products are discarded every year, resulting in millions of tons of non-biodegradable waste. Since most conventional sanitary pads contain up to 90 per cent plastics, they do not biodegrade for around 600 years.

These and other questions represent the lead topics of the conference. With a compound annual growth rate between five per cent and ten per cent, cellulose fibers have been a success story within the textile market over the past decade. Similar growth rates are expected in the following years. This makes cellulosic fibers the fastest growing fiber group in the textile industry and therefore the largest investment sector in the global circular bio-economy.

Cellulose fibers show a steadily expanding range of applications. At the same time, markets are driven by technological developments and political framework conditions, especially bans and restrictions on plastics and increasing sustainability requirements for textiles.

The European Commission has made the thorough transition towards sustainability and circularity for different industries and especially the textile sector a main focus.
