The Fibres Conference 2015 will look at prospects for raw materials, fibres and textiles in the context of sustainability challenges, global health issues, and lifestyle and demographic changes.

These factors carry implications for the mix of fibres, the manufacturing locations of supply chains, and the production systems that are used, the organiser reports.

Speakers will include PCI consultants as well as guest speakers. The key note speaker this year will be Giulio Bonazzi, Chairman and CEO, Aquafil Group. Presentations will address fibre demand numbers and will also look at the crucial issue of how to recover value, one of the most pressing requirements throughout the industry.

The conference will review the raw material chains for polyester, polyamide, cotton and viscose. After such a rapid decline in the oil price, the event will look at the recovery possibilities, assessing whether excessive investment in polyester and polyamide intermediates continue to prejudice margins.

It will also provide answers to questions like: Are prospects still bleak for cotton after the volatility of recent years? Can we expect consolidation in the viscose supply chain?
