"Biobased Materials" continue to grow in importance globally in a wide variety of industrial sectors, and not only because of reasons associated with sustainability. The primary reason is the technical benefits of these materials. The potential for new products and new applications based on existing and new materials is far from being exhausted.
For the 10th time, the Congress for Biobased Materials, Natural Fibres and WPC provides on June 24th/25th a platform for industrial researchers, engineers and academics to present, exchange and discuss the latest developments, trends in innovations as well as strategic questions.
The congress biobased materials has helped to drive the expansion of applications of this group of materials. Considering the advancements and future trends, the congress has expanded the focus from WPC to biobased composites and bioplastics and to renewable materials.
