Join us for the 7th edition of the Natural Fibres and Polymers Symposium!

On 17 and 18 September, FRD-CODEM and APM will be co-organising the 7th edition of the Natural Fibres & Polymers Symposium, which will take place at the Centre de Congrès de l’Aube in Troyes, in the Grand Est region. This flagship event will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers, industry representatives, research centres, universities and companies from the bioeconomy, plastics and composites, hemp and flax sectors, among others…

Objectives and challenges of the Natural Fibres and Polymers Symposium

This new edition aims to demonstrate that innovative solutions from the bioeconomy are already available, effective, and particularly relevant to current environmental and economic challenges. This conference will offer a comprehensive overview, with a European perspective, of the latest developments in the use of natural fibers in the fields of plastics and composites, while promoting concrete and inspiring feedback.

A rich and immersive programme

The program includes conferences, round tables, workshops, exhibitions of bio-based materials, professional meetings, and a tour of the city of Troyes.

At this conference, Benoît Savourat, President of FRD-CODEM, and Sylvain Keca, Chief Executive of APM, will be speaking.

Their presentations will focus in particular on:

  • Decarbonization of the plastics and composites industries
  • Current production of materials based on natural fibers and recycled polymers, with a carbon footprint close to zero
  • The existence of bio-based materials and industrialization

This event will be a great opportunity to discover, be inspired and deepen your knowledge of natural fiber solutions, available semi-finished products and innovative composites incorporating bio-based reinforcements.
