Dubai Tissuetech 2022 is the major scientific congress dedicated to hygiene tissue and paperboard in the EMEA region.
Professors Ronalds Gonzalez and Hasan Jameel have tailored our agenda, both recognized experts in their fields from North Carolina State University, to discuss advances in hygiene tissue and paperboard research led by top universities and research institutions across the world. Presentations will focus on the outlook for the industry for 2023, advances in fiber and furnish development and performance, efforts toward fiber reduction, scientific discussion on the true sustainability of hygiene tissue products, and sustainability metrics.
Dubai Tissuetech 2022 is the perfect place to learn and get trained!
