Türkiye has experienced an impressive 70% increase in production volume and 40% growth in capacity over the past decade, establishing itself as a global leader in tissue manufacturing. Tissue World Istanbul serves as the ideal event where innovation converges with opportunity.
“No waste sustainability is closer than you think” will be the theme of the conference session led by Andrea Carmignani, Tissue Converting Sales Executive at BW Converting, on Wednesday November 20 at 3:40pm, at the Conference Theatre. He will present how PCMC’s INVISIBLE-O coreless rewinding technology fast tracks tissue converters to next-level environmental goals
Safeguarding the environment requires unique and effective approaches. Key benefits of a more sustainable world include waste reduction, 100% tissue from start to finish, recyclable packaging, energy savings, reduced CO2 emissions, and optimized transport.
As a tissue convertor, it can be difficult to control costs while also focusing on optimizing sustainability. But with PCMC’s coreless winding INVISIBLE-O technology it is achievable by removing the core board and glue required in this process, which reduces costs and supply problems and provides a truly efficient and innovative solution.

INVISIBLE-O technology allows rewinding of high- and low-firmness rolls, for both consumer and away-from-home products.
“Ecological and sustainable solutions represent one of the biggest challenges for the tissue industry and having that in mind, the BW Converting Hygiene Business Segment is dedicated to finding the solutions that will support our customers’ needs as well as the market demands and ecological standards,” said Walter Tamarri, VP Marketing, Hygiene at BW Converting. “Tissue products are not mere commodities. Rather, they are high-tech paper specialties based on complex science, and like many of our customers, we also believe we can all play an important role together in respecting and safeguarding the environment.”
