Tissue World & sustainability
The tissue industry has long been recognized for its commitment to sustainability, consistently leading the way towards a more environmentally friendly future.
At Tissue World, we share this dedication to sustainability, which is evident in the various initiatives integrated into our events.
As part of our commitment, we are focusing on:

The event
- Event badges: Plastic wallets for badges are eliminated. Lanyards are made from sustainable sources, with recycling bins provided for them. Badges are printed on recyclable paper.
- Show guide: Integrated into the magazine to save paper, locally printed to reduce emissions and transport costs. Pages are crafted from FSC-certified paper, ensuring responsible production and sourcing.

Better stands
- Informa Connect, the organisers of Tissue World, are spearheading our "Better Stands," initiative, which actively phases out disposable stands.
- Reusable structures minimise waste, expedite assembly and disassembly, lower costs, and facilitate investments in top-quality stands.

Diversity & wellbeing
The diversity (i.e. gender, race, LGBTQIA+, age) of our speakers is of high importance as part of the planning of the event, and we have achieved some diversity on every panel.

Sustainability seminars

Renewable energy
