The 54th edition of the Dornbirn Man-Made Fibers Congress (Dornbirn-MFC) will be held from September 16-18, 2015.

According to a press release released by the organisers, more than 100 specialised papers dealing with varied subjects will be presented this year.

These subjects include, Fibre and filament innovations, Functionalisation and adaptation of fibres and surfaces, Nonwovens/Filtration, Environment and health and Advanced fibre and processing technology.

According to the organisers, in recent years Dornbirn-MFC has become a global brand, which is borne out by the growing number of both participants and the countries they represent.

The Europe-centred innovation platform for the fibre industry and the downstream manufacturing stages are set to serve as a generator of ideas and the basis for networking.

“Our endeavour is to make the Dornbirn-MFC confirm to the guidelines of the Austrian Eco-Label for Green Meetings and Green Events,” they added.

This Austrian Eco Label is awarded to events that excel by special eco-friendliness and sustainability initiatives.

In this respect, organisers are attaching importance to environmentally friendly travel arrangements, CO2 reduction, ecological catering, eco-friendly accommodation and material and waste management.

“As regards printed matter of preliminary and final programs, special attention will be paid to eco-friendly paper and printing processes and thus the use of FSC and TCF certified paper has been planned. (AR)
