EDITION 03/2005 PAGE 6 Events General Events European Wool Group (EWG): “Wool scouring in Europe: regional and ecological projects” – Bad Schandau, Germany May 27-28, 2005 How do we add value to wool was the question facing sheep breeders, processors and wool users from 11 European countries as they met in Germany. The meeting “ Wool Scouring in Europe: regional and ecological projects” was held in Bad Schandau, near Dresden, and was organised on May 27-28 by the European Wool Group to discuss issues facing the industry – particularly access to wool scouring facilities. Wool is a renewable natural resource of great value. In Europe, several regional initiatives for local wool processing have been launched. Wool scouring, the first step in the processing chain, is necessary but at present difficult to be carry out for small lots or special fibres… “The event was organised so wool projects could share best practice and explore ways of moving forward to the benefit of the economy in their regions,” said Marie-Therese Chaupin, Secretary of the European Wool Group. “The reducing number of small scouring and spinning and dyeing mills creates difficulties for sheep breeders who want to have their wool processed.” Delegates agreed to coordinate their efforts to propose the best solutions of scouring to the breeders, depending on the quantities and locations of the wool lots. The survey of the existing possibilities will be continued, trials will be made with small machines for different types of wool. They want to develop links via the internet and to explore a possible data- “Wool is a renewable base and directory of processing facilities. natural The crisis in the wool resource of sector is acute now, and wool is slowly great value” loosing its place among the textile fibres, in spite of its high natural value. Coordination and exchange of experiences, good relationship between all the links in the wool sector chain could perhaps help to find better technical solutions for processing and to propose a new, natural and attractive image of the wool to the public. 11th International Wool Research Conference Leeds, UK September 5–9, 2005 As we have informed you already, this Research Conference will be organised by the Leeds University this year.
