Composites go green: bio-based composites at Composites Europe 2015

From 22 to 24 September, COMPOSITES EUROPE 2015 in Stuttgart will present renewable raw materials for composites. Working with the nova-Institut at the “bio-based composites” joint stand for the second time, exhibitors will demonstrate just how great being sustainable can be when it comes to lightweight construction designs, materials and the most up-to-date production and automation solutions. Because the stand enjoyed such a successful debut, its next incarnation will be 50% larger. A total of 20 companies will be representing the biocomposites sector at the trade fair – an all-time record.

Besides companies from the field of wood and natural fibres, WPC and NFC, companies from the bio-based thermoplastics and thermosets field, whose polymers are suitable for composites, also exhibit on the joint stand on respectable 130 m². Month before the fair is only one booth still available at the joint stand – the following key players from the bio-based industry and its service providers are already part of it:

• Bcomp (CH) – bcomp.ch: Supplier of Natural Fibre Composites (NFC), Bcomp “powerRibs“ natural fibres technology triples the flexural stiffness of thin-walled structures without adding weight.
• Biowert (DE/CH) – biowert.de: Supplier of plastic pellets made with meadow grass as filling.
• European Industrial Hemp Association (EU) – eiha.org: Supplier of industrial hemp fibres for composites.
• EcoTechnilin (FR/UK) – ecotechnilin.com: The company offers FibriPreg, a range of flax non-woven mats pre-impregnated with the furfuran-based bioresin of TransFurans Chemicals from Belgium for aircraft, automotive and construction industry.
• Fimalin (FR) – fimalin.com: The association is dedicated to representing companies from the entire linen production value chain in France all the way to composites.
• Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V. (FNR)  (DE) –  fnr.de: The German Agency for Renewable Resources will provide information on bio-based composites at the joint stand.
• ISOMATEX (BE) – isomatex.be: In the production of stable mineral products, ISOMATEX is focused on reducing environmental pollution to an absolute minimum and ensuring complete recyclability.
• JRS, J. RETTENMAIER & SÖHNE Group (DE) – jrs.de: Products made of cellulose, cereal, fruit or wood fibres are turned by JRS into microfibres, compacts and granulates.
• SAS LINEO (FR) – lineo.eu: The company offers FlaxTape^©, a tape of unidirectional flax fibres that are ready to be used in all conventional processes to produce composite parts.
• TransFurans Chemicals (BE) – transfurans.be: Specialist for furfuryl alcohol, a chemical that is both renewable and carbon-neutral because it is gained from biomass.
• nova-Institut GmbH (DE) – nova-institut.eu: The nova-Institute offers market research in the field of natural fibres, bio-based materials and polymers, techno-economic evaluation, environmental evaluation und consulting.
