The 12th International Conference on Wood Adhesives will be held Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 2020 at the Portland Hilton Downtown hotel in Portland, Oregon. This is one year earlier than originally planned, based on the strong interest and activity in bio-based adhesives.
The International Conference on Wood Adhesives is the premier technical conference on advances in adhesion of wood and biomass. Industry representatives were the majority of the 241 attendees in 2017, evenly split between the US and the rest of the world.
Whether you are an adhesive supplier or user or user of the downstream product; from industry, academia, government, or NGO, this conference provides a unique opportunity. Don't wait another 3-4 years.
If your business depends on having solid technical knowledge about glued wood products, this meeting is for you. We recruit the best technical thinking in the field of wood adhesives so you get the most value for your time invested and will have access to the proceedings.

PTF BPI 2020 registration is now live!
The International Conference on Processing Technologies for the Biobased Products Industries' (PTF BPI) started in October 2010 at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences in Kuchl, Austria. The conference provides a forum for discussions among researchers, producers, and consumers of forest and biobased products and serves as a catalyst for new research on product and process innovation that cover a host of subjects for application by technical managers, operations managers, and business managers.
The PTF BPI theme for “…providing a forum for discussions among industry technical and R&D directors, and university researchers for the advancement of new technologies….” continues to this day. The conference is held biennially and rotates between Europe and the USA.
PTF BPI 2020 at St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the sixth biennial conference and the third in the series in the USA at St. Simons Island. The original PTF BPI 2010 conference resulted in a published proceedings that is still available today (see below). PTF PBI 2016 resulted in a published book of extended abstracts and is available on ResearchGate. We hope you will consider joining us at PTF BPI 2020 to interact with professional colleagues and meet new researchers in an enjoyable and beautiful beachside atmosphere.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has calculated how wood could replace petroleum in the chemical industry, based on their process that converts wood waste into chemicals.
The team of bio-engineers and economists from KU Leuven, Belgium, looked at the technological requirements and the economic feasibility of a biorefinery that uses wood as a feedstock. The future of biorefineries will depend not just on feedstock availability, but also on how profitable they are and if they can compete with the petrochemical industry.

Over the course of forest succession, both components of plant residues and the structure of soil microbial communities play important roles in affecting soil aggregates, and thus the sequestration and stability of soil organic carbon. However, up till now there is still a lack of holistic understanding of the interactions among root turnover, microbial community composition, chemical composition of plant residues and different sized soil aggregates.
