FiberTies - 1st Fiber Symposium Oct. 2015
Vælg side
Numerous companies, R&D groups and private initiatives working with biobased fibers have emerged all over the Nordic and Baltic region. With the current focus on intelligent resource and waste use, re-use and reduction, as well as research in development of new products from sustainable materials, there is a need and opportunity to establish a network with closer collaborations.
The first meeting in FiberTies was a two-day joint symposium and workshop on October 22nd& 23rd, 2015.
The following topics were covered:
