BIO-BASED PRODUCTS SHOWCASE.
Made in Europe with Europe’s natural resources… and technology!
In the future, anything can be made of wood fibre, providing renewable and recyclable, low-carbon alternatives to many fossil-based materials and products. Through circularity, wood-based textiles, construction items and technologies for carbon neutrality, paper and fibre-based products represent a tangible way for Europe to strengthen its open strategic autonomy and, at the same time, for citizens to make sustainable consumption choices in their daily life. This exhibition offers a window into a world where the pulp and paper sector can make sustainable and climate-friendly products the new normal for a climate-compatible economy.
Formerly known as Paper Presents, the exhibition will gather a variety of products from all over Europe.
We invite you to submit your innovations that can meet the citizens’ daily needs with a strong focus on applications related to health, construction, mobility and automotive.
The selected products will have a chance to be exhibited at COFO27 in Rome (22-27 July) and in front of the newly elected MEPs in Brussels (23-24 September).
You can submit your application here by 12 May 2024.
