THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE DEDICATED TO WOOD-BASED CHEMISTRY AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Energy and ecological transitions mean seeking out alternatives to fossil fuels and require the development of materials and products with a reduced environmental impact.
Plentiful and easily accessible in most countries, wood is a prime raw material for the development of more environmentally-friendly chemicals that are less dependent on fossil fuels.
For the forestry and wood industries, this wood chemistry is an opportunity to further optimize their resource or their coproducts through high added-value applications.
Today new opportunities are also open to chemical manufacturers who can thus offer greener solutions and real alternatives to petrol-based products.
Applications cover a broad spectrum, from housing materials, interiors and transport to personal protective equipment, cosmetology and pharmacology.
