In recent years, natural fibre-reinforced plastics (biocomposites) have developed into an ecological, economical and technological alternative to classic composite materials such as glass and carbon fibre-reinforced plastics. The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture has been promoting these for some time with good results. The Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR) is launching a series of webinars on 8 December to make this group of materials and their areas of application even more widely known.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Biocomposites are characterised by a low weight, low CO2<\/sub>-footprint and moderate raw material costs <\/strong>and are mainly used by the automotive industry - mostly in the interior sector.<\/p>

In recent years, we have succeeded in improve the technical performance of the materials<\/strong>, that they are now also suitable for car body components, but also for other areas of application such as electronics and shipbuilding.<\/p>

In order to make the biocomposites to achieve a market breakthrough on a broad front<\/strong>, The players involved often lack sufficient knowledge and expertise. This starts with the training of future skilled workers and engineers and extends to the decision-making levels of manufacturing companies. With the Webinar series \u201eBiocomposites - challenges and opportunities\u201c<\/strong> would like to Agency for Renewable Resources<\/a> e. V. a Contribution to knowledge transfer to the various target groups<\/strong>, The company's contribution comes from a wide range of organisations, such as universities and colleges, materials manufacturers and the processing industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
