Asia’s Premier Pulp and Paper event returns this year from 25 – 27 April 2012 at Queen Sirikit National Convention & Exhibition Centre, Plenary Halls 1, 2 and 3 in Bangkok, Thailand.

With Asia positioned as the world’s fastest-growing economy amidst a looming recession in the United States and fiscal instability in the Euro zone, there is no better time for market leaders to capitalise on this resource-hungry region.

First organised by United Business Media (UBM) in 1992, Asian Paper features many high level Symposiums with presentations and panel discussions by industry veterans, as well as dedicated Paper Mill visits on the eve of the show. It is one of the few occasions where both buyers and sellers are housed under one roof, giving all vendors a chance to network and obtain industry contacts both regional and global.

This year’s event showcases more than 200 international exhibitors from around the world, bringing together a comprehensive display of the latest cutting-edge Pulp and Paper technologies and equipment rarely seen in a single industry event. China and Finnish Pavilions have been added due to overwhelming participation from these two particular countries.

Among the exhibitors are the world’s leading suppliers to the Pulp & Paper industry, giving participants an unrivalled opportunity in Asian Paper to meet and discuss specific solutions to the current challenges and issues facing their companies.

The Senior Management Symposium is Asia’s leading Management Conference for the Pulp and Paper Industry, and covers pertinent issues facing senior key decision managers today. And the Technical Conference, “The New Applied Technology”, addresses the latest developments in Pulp & Paper Production and Maintenance with innovative veteran speakers.

Some exhibitors’ concerns of recent flooding in Thailand were thoroughly addressed by Akapol Sorasuchart, President of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau. “Suvarnabhumi International Airport is fully functional and the central business district of Bangkok is flood-free with all businesses operating normally”, he stated in an official press release dated 21 November 2011.

Asian Paper 2012 is expected to attract over 6,000 visitors and more than 300 delegates to the Conferences. As exhibition space is reported to be moving fast, all would-be exhibitors are advised to reserve their spots immediately to avoid disappointment.

With exclusive complimentary professional public relations and publicity services for all exhibitors, courtesy of UBM Asia, this is sure to be an exciting event not to be missed!

Main conference sessions – Wednesday to Friday

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday March 21, 2012 (full day)

Session 1: Sustainability in the Tissue Business

Steps Toward the Sustainable Value Chain for Tomorrow
Suhas Apte, Global Vice President of Sustainability, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, USA
      The historical sustainability focus of manufacturing companies, optimizing operational footprints and minimizing environmental impacts, is evolving to one of ensuring sustainability across their entire supply chain (from raw materials to shelf). Going forward, our scope needs to be expanded to consider our business’s value chain in a way that we become part of the solutions addressing the greater global challenges affecting us and our stakeholders. This will need to be demonstrated under the heightened transparency expected by our consumers and customers. We should expect that these trends will only be exacerbated in the World of 2050, inhabited by 9 billion consumers, where sustainable production and consumption is no longer nice to have but rather a requirement. This paper will outline steps companies can undertake to proactively address existing and emerging sustainability related global value chain challenges and opportunities.

Greenpeace: No Reason to be Afraid, Necessarily
Rolf Skar, Sr. Forest Campaigner, Greenpeace, USA
      Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands are being destroyed to make disposable consumer products, including paper for glossy magazines, toilet paper and packaging. Greenpeace -- along with a growing list of NGOs -- is campaigning to find solutions to deforestation in Indonesia. We invite the tissue industry to join this effort, if not for the environmental and social values, for the sake of the bottom line. As consumers increasingly demonstrate an interest in sustainability, companies ignoring rainforest destruction in their supply chain do so at their own risk.

Making Sense of Environmental Certifications Programs
Suzanne Blanchet, President and CEO, Cascades Tissue, Canada
Abstract – To be announced

Where Environmental Groups and Big Brands Combine Forces
Corey Brinkema, President, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), USA
    The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the certification system that uniquely brings together companies and environmental scientists and activists, is in the midst of a remarkable marketplace expansion in North America. Having already attained a 5% share of the forest products market, both FSC demand and supply have exploded in the past 18 months. The tissue sector suddenly became more attuned to certification opportunities with the market leadership of Kimberly-Clark, and Clearwater Paper recently made FSC a reality for the retail grocery private label tissue. Where does it go from here? How much does the US consumer care? Where are the future sources of FSC certified fiber in the Americas? This paper will address these questions and share insights of recent US consumer research on responsible sourcing and purchasing of forest products.

Environmental Leadership in the Tissue Paper Sector – Beyond Forest Certification
Susan Rutherford, Sustainability Analyst, Ecologo, Canada
    While public debate about the environmental impacts of paper production are focusing on the role of forestry certification, producing paper in a more sustainable manner requires attention to environmental and other impacts at all life cycle stages of the product; from land and resource management, to emissions associated with manufacture to end of life recyclability. This presentation will review the major life cycle impacts of the paper production sector, particularly in the manufacturing stage and identify some leadership practices resulting in environmentally preferable paper products. Practices covered will include design, sourcing recycled content, air, water and waste management practices and energy production and management both for on site production and purchased energy.

How Customers Can Leverage Your Sustainability
Don Lewis, President, SCA North America, USA
     Building a strong sustainable profile has become a requirement for companies in today’s world. However, when customers leverage your reputation to build their own, you’ve become a value-added business partner and much more than a supplier. Don Lewis, president of SCA’s Americas operations, will discuss how SCA is adding value to customers through the company’s sustainability actions and programs. SCA is a global hygiene products and paper company with sustainability recognition that has placed it as one of the world’s most ethical companies by Ethisphere, on the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index, FTSE4Good Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Europe Index. With sales in 100 countries, SCA operates across North and Latin America with hygiene products such as tissue, incontinence and feminine care products and baby diapers. Sales for SCA in 2011 were $16 billion

Session 2: Market Developments and Fiber Supply

Market Developments and Trends in North and South America
Esko Uutela, Principal - Tissue, RISI, Germany
    The North American tissue market is experiencing a new investment boom. The main driver seems to be the need for ultra and premium grade tissue, partly reflecting major retailers' target to upgrade their private label offerings closer to the main brands in quality, with a clear trend toward higher quality in the AfH sector as well. Market growth has flattened, particularly in terms of weight as the product light-weighting trend continues. Competition does not show any signs of lessening, and it is amazing to see how a growing number of small, independent converters have been able to forge ahead based on niche products, flexible service and sub-contracting orders from big players. Environmental certification and sustainability issues are also becoming increasingly important topics in the North American tissue business. In South America, tissue markets are in a very interesting expansion phase throughout the whole continent. The main focus is currently on Brazil, with the largest population and now also the highest tissue consumption in the region. In Brazil, the recent strong growth is benefitting from the increasing purchasing power in the inland and northeast regions. On the supply side, CMPC Tissue's recent aggressive expansion strategy has tightened competition further in Latin America, including the two largest markets Brazil and Mexico.

Fiber Supply – Where will Fiber for Tissue Making Come From?
Soile Kilpe, Director Global Consulting, Pöyry, USA

    The tissue industry is the second largest consumer of market pulp, after printing and writing paper. Market bleached hardwood and softwood kraft pulp usage is clearly increasing in the at-home (consumer) tissue segment, driven by the new investments in Asia and Latin America. About 40% of all market pulp is bought by the top 5 tissue producers today, but with the steady investment activity in the low per capita regions, and increasing number of new entrants, this share will change as fragmentation rises. Integration with pulp production at tissue mills varies by region and certain at-home tissue suppliers have transitioned to using market pulp by closing down or selling their pulp assets. Moreover, captive pulp for tissue making has declined in North America, but with the fiber poor regions like Asia growing, there will be a comeback of this kind of a concept for securing fiber supply. Reduced availability and higher price of recycled fiber is expected to benefit market pulp suppliers in the future. However, the cyclical nature of the market pulp business will continue to be a challenge for tissue producers, as they have high sensitivity to raw material input cost swings. This presentation will explore key questions related to tissue product quality development, the impact of technology/recycled fiber, sustainability drivers and the potential
need for new pulp products for the ultra-quality category.

Tissue World 2013 to be held in Barcelona, Spain

After careful consideration the organizers of Tissue World, the largest global event for the soft hygienic tissue paper industry, are very pleased to announce that Tissue World 2013 will be held in Barcelona, Spain on 18-21 March 2013. Thus Tissue World – the BIG ONE – will be taking place at the ultra-modern Fira Gran Via Congress center which is conveniently located between the city center and Barcelona's El Prat international airport.

Barcelona offers many positive aspects including the modern Gran Via Congress Center which is 8 km from the airport and 4 km from the city center; excellent direct airline connections to Europe and the rest of the world which are critical for an international show like Tissue World that draws thousands of visitors from 88 countries on every continent; a top-level selection of hotels to fit any budget range; excellent restaurants and nightlife; the Mediterranean flavor and compact size of the city which give it a welcoming, lively yet cozy atmosphere; the mild climate, seafront, beaches and mountains; and Barcelona’s rich history and world-famous architecture.

Survey supports Barcelona and two-year cycle
A confirming factor in the decision to bring the event to Barcelona for the first time was the survey taken last year of all Tissue World visitors and exhibitors, which showed a very clear preference for Barcelona. As an added note, the survey revealed an overwhelming preference for the Tissue World event to remain on a two-year cycle.

After having been held in beautiful Nice for nearly 20 years, the general idea is to begin rotating the big Tissue World event among a selection of cities. Nice continues to be highly appreciated by the attendees and the rotation of the Tissue World events may certainly include Nice in the future.

About Tissue World
The Tissue World show, which started in Nice in 1993, is the BIG ONE in the Tissue World series and is supported by two somewhat smaller regional events. These are Tissue World Asia in Shanghai targeting the Asian market and Tissue World Americas in Miami focusing mainly on the North and South America markets. Tissue World is clearly the leading global event series covering soft hygienic tissue products such as facial tissue, household paper towels, toilet tissue, handkerchiefs and table napkins.

The unique combination of the high-level Senior Management conference, the very targeted, hands-on Technical Sessions and Workshops, and the giant Trade Show featuring essentially all of the world’s suppliers to the tissue business, make Tissue World a ‘must-attend’ event for all tissue professionals. Tissue products are a very important category in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) business, with an estimated global value amounting to USD 70 billion per annum.
