Spotlight on Policy & Supply Chain Issues for Tissue

At the Tissue 2017 Conference, to be held October 3-6, 2017 in Miami, a variety of sessions will cover a range of industry topics. One of these will be a "Flushability Panel", led by David Loebker of Proctor & Gamble. Panelists will include technical leaders from Georgia-Pacific, SGS and Solenis who will discuss the myriad of test methods and where municipalities and the science is headed.
