“Direct dissolution of ligno-cellulose via novel solvent systems offers the possibility to valorize all wood constituents without prior fractionation.”
“The place to be for innovators in cellulose fibers industry.”
“A conference which explores the value chain of cellulose fibres, including lignocellulose, chemical pulp, rayon, viscose, modal, and lyocell, and their applications in renewable textiles, non-wovens, composites, hygiene, packaging, and food industry.”
“The Cellulose Fibres Conference is the ideal place for experts within the MMCF and textile industry to exchange ideas, collaborate, and make future together!”
“For a truly circular textile industry we need fiber-to-fiber recycling for new high-quality products that are on par with the original textiles“
“Cellulose fibers can have the potential to substitute glass fibers in lightweight construction.”
“Conferences like this drive scientific collaboration and innovation, essential for progress in industrial applications.”
“Cellulose foams: a new environmentally-friendly cellulose product to replace single-use plastics.”
“Presenting my work on the development of a process to produce novel cellulosic fibres and dissolving pulp from textile waste, I cannot imagine a more fitting occasion to share my findings than at the Cellulose Fibres Conference.”
“The Cellulose Fibres Conference is important to gather experts worldwide amid the challenges of responding to increased demand of bio-based textile fibers with hydrophilic and tensile properties produced with zero carbon footprint.”
