Biofibre conference draws crowds

The 10th International Conference on Progress in Biofibre Plastic Composites, which ran May 12-13 in Toronto, drew hundreds of attendees, eager to see some of the latest products on display in the suppliers’ showcase.

For the more theoretically-inclined, the conference also featured technical sessions running in the morning and afternoon on both days. The sessions covered a wide range of topics, from fibre performance properties of deck boards, to strategies for improving viability of foamed wood plastics composites, to colouring bioplastics.
