Tourcoing 2026

Following our joint workshop with our partner projects VALCELMAT and OBIWAN as part of the INTERREG France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen programme, we are delighted to share the presentations from this workshop, which took place on 8 October in Tourcoing, France.

From cellulose modification and plant-fibre-based composites to circular biorefineries and the industrial-scale recovery of organic materials, the various speakers explored a wide range of innovations and opportunities for linking value chains within our cross-border circular and bio-based economy.

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the speakers, to EuraMaterials for hosting the event, and to all the participants who joined us for this day of knowledge-sharing and networking to strengthen our regions.

For those who were unable to attend, the presentations are available here

Let us keep these conversations going and continue to build strong cross-border collaborations for a circular and bio-based future!
