The European Tissue Symposium (ETS), the industry association representing tissue paper producers, has carried out its latest socioeconomic impact analysis. 

The report highlights that the tissue industry supports over 421,000 jobs across Europe, with employment extending beyond manufacturing into retail, logistics and services. It generates €19.7 billion in annual revenue, delivers 8.2 million tonnes of essential tissue products each year and plays a crucial role in maintaining hygiene standards.

"Tissue products are a cornerstone of modern hygiene systems," said Carlos Reinoso, director general of the European Tissue Symposium (ETS). "As policymakers consider future regulations, it is essential to recognise both the economic contribution of our sector and the critical role tissue plays in protecting public health. Decisions must be grounded in science, lifecycle thinking and real-world usage."

ETS will be present at Interclean Amsterdam this week.
