Natural Fibers and Polymers Symposium

A major event on the use of plant fibers in plastics processing and composites. and composites.
Join us at the 7th edition of the symposium, to be held in Troyes on September 17 and 18, 2025!
A recognized event dedicated to the valorization of plant fibers in composites
Originally created by APM (ex. AFT plasturgie), this event has been taken up and expanded by FRD-CODEM since 2011, with the support of the plant fiber industry, key players in the bioeconomy such as the Bioeconomy For Change cluster (B4C ex. IAR) and the plastics and composites industry such as SFIP. It is a multi-year event that is recognized by both industrial and academic players. The event provides a comprehensive overview of a European perspective on the latest developments in the use of natural fibers in plastics and composites: availability and processability of agricultural materials, properties and optimization properties and optimization of fiber/polymer composites (interface, treatment, etc.), recycling and end-of-life, life-cycle analysis and eco-design, differentiating performance of biosourced materials, reinforcement innovations, and an update on applications in the automotive, mobility, construction, sports and leisure, aerospace, design and packaging sectors...
