Webinar 49: (Bio-)plastics for the timber industry

The social pressure to utilize resources sustainably is intensifying and affects all branches of industry. One question hereby encompassed is how the changeover to biologically based plastics systems can be technically and economically accomplished.

The necessary modifications offer opportunities for new technologies. A system change from thermosetting to thermoplastic processes has a high potential here.

The following points will be addressed during the Webinar:

  • Development and definitions of bio-based plastics
  • Thermoplastics as wood-based material components
  • Utilization of bio-based plastics and wood residues
  • Thermo-formable sandwich veneers as semi-finished products

The Webinar is aimed at developers and designers from the furniture, automotive and construction industries.
