The conference theme, “Ready for Reinvention, Ripe for Disruption: Will the 20s Roar for Tissue?” will explore the geopolitical, technical, legislative and behavioural forces at work in this dynamic market.

“The fundamentals of the U.S. tissue business have changed significantly in recent decades, and the rate of change continues unabated,” says Agnes Gehot, Tissue World’s deputy event director.

“The country with the most advanced tissue machines and highest tissue consumption per capita is seeing the rise of private label, changes in consumer preferences and an intensifying trade war that is shaping the industry’s future.”
