Our chairman Dr. Martin Gruhlke gave a presentation on the topic of utilization options of stinging nettle at the conference organized by the Aachen Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the Bio4MatPro project at RWTH Aachen University on February 07, 2023, and participated in the subsequent panel discussion. In addition to the use of stinging nettle fibers as mechanically very stable and high-quality raw materials for the textile industry and the production of bio-based fiber composites, the other very diverse utilization options of the stinging nettle plant such as protein production or vegetable oil production were highlighted.
