The upcoming conference on 12 and 13 March 2025 in Cologne paves the way for a sustainable textile industry – Preliminary program published <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Over the past few weeks, the conference advisory board and experts from the nova-Institute have reviewed and evaluated over 40 submitted abstracts. Theselected external experts bring fresh insights and perspectives from the pulp,fiber and processing industries and enrich the discussions during theevent with their expertise. With their comprehensive expertise along the entirefiber value chain, they contribute to a well-founded consideration of the topics discussed andensure a dynamic exchange of ideas. The expert presentations provide the perfectplatform to discuss the respective session. The Advisory Board members will stimulate alively debate to drive innovation across the industry.Find out more about the Advisory Board here: cellulose-fibres.eu\/advisoryboard Biosynthetics on the rise<\/strong>In addition to cellulose fibers, bio-based polymer fibers (biosynthetics) offer an excellentopportunity to replace fossil fibers in textiles. Biosynthetics represent a convincing alternativeto conventional synthetic fibers, as they are considered a fully-fledged replacement in terms of both their performance and theirtechnical properties. These fibers are derived in whole or in part fromnatural, renewable sources such as lactic acid, sugar beet, sugar cane or wood andare therefore a bio-based alternative to fossil-based materials.In a session entitled“Biosynthetics – Replacing Traditional Synthetic Fibres”, experts will discuss the latest advances, challenges andpotential in this area. In order to drive sustainable change in the fashion and textile industry, it is essential to shed light on innovative approaches such as biosynthetics. Fiber-to-fiber recycling: the path to a sustainable textile industry<\/strong>The textile industry is at a crucial turning point. The need for sustainable solutionsto achieve the EU’s ambitious climate targets is becoming increasingly urgent. One promising approachis fiber-to-fiber recycling, in which used textiles are convertedinto new, recyclable fibers. This process can reduce waste and resource consumption and close the textileproduction loop. Although Europe has made progress in this area, there are still challenges – particularly in dealing with mixed fibers and developingsuitable recycling technologies. New approaches are needed to tackle climate change,therefore a conference session will be dedicated to fiber-to-fiber recycling of textiles. Thiswill examine the latest innovations and technological advances as well as opportunities and hurdlesthat need to be overcome to help the industry move towards a sustainable andcircular future. Formation of microplastics from fibers versus biodegradability in the sea<\/strong>The environmental impact of textiles goes far beyond the landfill, as microplastics fromsynthetic fibers are becoming a growing problem in marine ecosystems. A session atthe conference will focus on the complex relationship between the formation of microplastics andbiodegradability in the ocean. While synthetic fibers release microplastics during washing, these tiny particles, known as microfibers, accumulate in theoceans and pose a serious threat to the marine ecosystem. This sessionexamines the factors that influence the degradation of fibers in the marine environment. Thisis contrasted with the potential of biodegradable fibers to reduce long-termpollution. This balancing act between the avoidance of microplastics and the developmentof fibers that can be naturally degraded in marine ecosystems is akey issue. The solutions that could help mitigate this pressing environmental problemwill be discussed at the conference. Innovation Award “Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year 2025”<\/strong>The nova-Institute and GIG Karasek are looking for the best fiber innovations of the year. Applicants:from the fields of cellulose fibers and biosynthetics are invited to submit their innovations.Technology providers, research institutes and producers can apply until November 30,2024. The “Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year 2025” award is sponsored by GIGKarasek.Applications for the “Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year 2025” award can be submitted here: cellulosefibres.eu\/award-application Call for Posters<\/strong>The poster exhibition is a highlight of the conference and an eagerly awaited event,especially for young scientists. Papers can be submitted until January 31, 2025. cellulose-fibres.eu\/call-for-posters<\/a>The preliminary program and all information on registration, sponsorship and the exhibition can be found atcellulose-fibres.eu\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n
