New Products from Plant Fibres, Nonwovens and Recycled Materials<\/p>\n
How are new sustainable materials created \u2014 from raw material to industrial application?
\nAs part of Berlin Design Week, clothing technician and product developer Silvia Wald invites guests to a curated evening exploring material research, textile processing and industrial product development.
\nExperts from research, industry and design will present real development processes involving plant fibres, nonwoven technologies, recycled materials and bio-based innovations.
\nWhat happens here is rare:
\nA melting pot of decision-makers, researchers and product developers who have already worked on real materials \u2014 for the automotive industry, bio-based products and market-ready innovations.
\nThis is not a theoretical discussion, but an evening with people who understand what it means to bring a material from the laboratory into industrial application.
\nTopics include:
\nPlant fibres from paludiculture
\nNonwoven technologies
\nPost-consumer textiles in the automotive industry
\nBio-based material development
\nDesign applications
\nIn short talks, experts will present current projects from research, industry and design. The programme is complemented by a Material Lab, where materials and prototypes can be explored firsthand and discussed directly with the developers.
