Sixth WPC Conference, Cologne
From 16-17 December 2015, the largest Conference on Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC) worldwide will take place for the sixth time in Cologne, Germany. The conference continues to internationalise; while it originally focused on the German market, this year, the conference language will be English. The range of topics that previously covered only WPC, will for the first time be expanded to also address Natural Fbre Composites (NFC) and bio-based plastics as matrix for bio-composites.
All these markets are overlapping more and more and are growing as a whole: www.wpc-conference.com
At the centre of the conference are innovative WPC and NFC solutions in construction (decking for terraces, fencing, facades and interior flooring), furniture, automotive applications as well as consumer goods. In 2012, European WPC production reached 260,000 tonnes, while production of NFC reached 92,000 tonnes. By now, more than 60 companies offer WPC and NFC granulates for injection moulding and extrusion.
The conference will provide an up-to-date picture of the granulate market and its current trends.
During the Sixth WPC Conference, international experts will discuss topical developments and growth areas for WPC and NFC. The largest European WPC trade fair is the ideal opportunity to present and become familiar with new products and inventions.
