Upcoming Trade Shows in Germany for Advanced Materials, Composites

In Europe, Germany is synonymous with the revolution in the advanced materials and composites industry, given its leader position in research and development and manufacturing. Early estimates position Germany as having a majority of the global market in just a few years. What the country does differently is combining innovation with a commitment to environmental protection and climate sustainability. The German Environment Agency is taking a leading role in addressing the potential of advanced materials, recognizing their crucial role in environmental and climate protection. These materials offer the promise of greener, more sustainable solutions across various industries. Collaboration is at the heart of Germany's strategy. The German Environment Agency is working in tandem with the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) and the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). Together, they have crafted a comprehensive perspective on the responsible handling and governance of novel materials. This partnership reflects their shared commitment to ensuring that advanced materials are introduced with due consideration for safety, sustainability, and their entire life cycle. From the authority’s perspective, these organizations have mapped out essential activities in several key areas such as early warning systems, regulation, innovation, communication and even more importantly research. Continuous research to expand our understanding of advanced materials, their properties, and potential impacts. In-depth knowledge is vital for informed decision-making. Germany is also home to impressive startups that push forward concepts like TECNARO, which investigates the potential of sustainable materials. TECNARO specializes in developing thermoplastic biomaterials using renewable raw materials. Their extensive portfolio comprises more than 3500 different material blends, categorized as ARBOBLEND, ARBOFORM, and ARBOFILL. These materials find applications across diverse markets, from musical instruments and household items to clothing and packaging. It’s clear Germany won’t go anywhere in the upcoming years as an engine for further development of advanced materials and composites.
