Hemp & plastics

Bio-Composites - like bio-based plastics - show two-digit growth each year. The 8th conference of the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) - scheduled in Cologne (Germany) from May 18-19, 2011 - will present the newest technological developments and market penetration of hemp and other natural fibre-reinforced plastics.
Specialists from all over the world will meet to exchange information regarding the latest discoveries in hemp, natural fibres and applications for fibres, seeds and oil. Participants will range from cultivation consultants, primary and further processors, traders, mechanical engineers and investors to numerous small and medium-sized enterprises and international automotive companies and suppliers.
