The MIAC Conferences During the three days of MIAC there will be a number of international conferences dedicated to the paper and tissue sector. Participation is free of charge and simultaneous translation is available. All will be held in the MIAC 2019 Conference Room


MIAC Tissue Conference First session: 9 October, from 13.40 to 17.05 Optimising tissue paper production Continuous optimisation and efficiency improvement, at any stage of the process, are a must to keep ahead of the competition in an increasingly challenging market, to adapt to new consumer’s needs and to preserve the environment. Tissue paper production and converting plants need to perform at their best to meet this challenge. The latest innovative technologies to support the tissue producers in optimising their processes and increasing the quality of the products will be at the core of the MIAC Tissue Conference.


Second session: 10 October, from 09.40 to 12.50 Optimising tissue paper converting Greater diversity in the conversion of tissue to meet consumer demands means that mills specialising in this activity must invest in innovative systems while minimising their impact on the environment. Tissue paper production and


converting plants need to perform at their best to face all this. The newest and more innovative technologies to support the tissue producers in optimising their processes and increasing the quality of the products will be at the core of the paper converting conference.


MIAC Energy – Assocarta Conference 10 October from 14.00 to 17.00 Energy efficiency in papermaking: win-win solutions to reduce costs and emissions


An old TV ad claimed: “Money saved is money earned”. This adage is well impressed in the mind of the papermakers, at any level, and the efforts in the energy production and use optimisation are always a priority in the paper mills. During the seminar an updated overview on the regulatory framework and on the last experiences and technologies in energy production and energy savings in the paper mills will be provided.


MIAC Asocarta Awards 11 October, from 10.00 to 12.00 Prize for the innovation in the paper industry – first edition MIAC and Assocarta have established an innovation award for paper mills that have introduced innovative elements in their manufacturing processes and/or products during 2019. There are four categories: – Process innovation; – Product innovation; – Innovation for energy; – Innovation for circular economy.
