A conference dedicated to materials, polymers and composites eco sustainables.
Compotec, the Italian Composites Show, as usual very attentive to the newest challenges, understands the importance of the environmental problems and dedicates this edition to green materials and eco-sustainability, presenting this Conference that will discuss the subject of composites materials characterised by a reduced environmental impact of raw materials, processes, products and recycling.

A matter of consequence
Sustainability, industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, green chemistry and new laws, are pushing the development of the next generation of materials, products, and processes. Bio-Composites (Natural/Biofiber) are emerging as a viable alternative to glass fiber reinforced composites especially in automotive and building product applications. The combination of biofibers such as kenaf, hemp, flax, jute and sisal with polymer matrices from both nonrenewable and renewable resources to produce composite materials that are competitive with synthetic composites requires special attention, i.e., biofiber-matrix interface and novel processing. Natural fiber/reinforced polypropylene composites have attained commercial attraction in automotive industries. Using natural fibers with polymers based on renewable resources will allow many environmental issues to be solved.

Object of the Conference
The road towards really "green" composites is still very long, nevertheless Compotec is an exhibition aimed to innovation and this Conference will introduce new technologies and new products and invite both producers and users to confront and discuss in order to get answers to questions and doubts.
The Conference will take place over two days, 8 and 9 February. Industry technicians, researchers, designers, producers and distributors, will present the latest news of the sector.
Chairmen are Prof. Marino Quaresimin and Ing.Alberto Cimadoro.
Participants will be composites industry representatives, technicians, designers, distributors, academics, researchers.

For the seventh year, Seatec presents the technical Seminar dedicated to marine construction.

It will take place on Friday the 10th, at 10 a.m.

This event, treating the many aspects of marine construction, since 2004 has aroused the interest of yacht designers, technicians, dealers.

This year seminar is dedicated to a topical subject: the refitting and restoring of boats and yachts. In this sector, the refitting activities are constantly increasing: refurbishing, renovation, updating and restoring is a business worth millions of Euros.

Chairman of the event is Massimo-Musio Sale, well known yacht designer and a guru of this specific field.

Massimo affirms: "Valorising what already exists, help the renovation and conservation processes for the marine products.... Recognise and apply the processes of restoring, refitting, restyling. Multi faced strategies having a common aim: the valorisation of boats from the exceptional ones to the very simple and recent.
