FRANKFURT – [10.12.08] As part of the International Year of Natural Fibres, Messe Frankfurt will hold a natural fibre congress during Techtextil – the International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Nonwovens – which takes place in June 2014.
The aims of the congress are to highlight the potential uses and application of natural fibres into technical textile applications where there use is still relatively low compared to how much synthetic textile fibre is utilised in this sector.
Thus, the focus of the congress is on the functionality (function) of natural fibres and the latest findings about innovative applications in fields such as mobility and construction such as in architecture and buildings.
The congress is supported by trade associations, such as the Bremen Cotton Bourse, the German Linen Association, the German Association of the Yarn, Woven Fabrics and Technical Textiles Industry (IVGT), the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) from Switzerland and the International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO) from Belgium.
