Circular Bioeconomy in Textile Industry: Bio-based feedstocks, processing technologies and concepts for a circular economy.
With social, political, economic and climate challenges, the choice of feedstocks and methods of processing became evidently more important. What kind of resources are being used right now and what alternatives have potential? How do you process a resource to an innovative product? How important are design- and recycling processes? How can sectors be coupled and how could a circular economy benefit a region?
To comply with new regulation and become truly sustainable, changes in product development and current business models are one of the most discussed topics.
If these questions raised your interest, don’t forget to register and take part in the 3 sessions.
