Climate protection gained substantial attention from both the fiber industry and academic circle at this year's Dornbirn-MFC, held in Dornbirn, Austria on September 16-18.
In the plenary session on the opening day Mr Eule from the International Rayon and Synthetic Fibres Committee (CIRFS) shared his views on the development strategies of the European man-made fibers industry.
Notably, thanks to the efforts of IVC/Germany, Professor Reichholf from Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich, Germany, gave a lecture on the topic climate change from the biological point of view, followed by Bob Peoples from the American Chemical Society in Washington, the US, on the topic of green chemistry.
Elmar Witten from the Industrievereinigung verstärkte Kunststoffe in Frankfurt, Germany also presented market and market development for composites in Europe.
In addition, more than 100 individual lectures were presented in the section "New Developments in Fibers" (including bicomponent fibers and nano-technologies) during the whole congress, with an opening presentation by Mr Omatsuzawa from the Japan Chemical Fibers Association in Tokyo on the overview of the development of environmentally conscious technologies and textile products in Japan.
Other lectures touched such topics as fibers for medical and hygienic textiles as well as geotextiles and agrotextiles.
