We now use half the water to produce the same amount of paper.
Since 2015, ICT Ibérica's Production, Water Treatment and Maintenance teams have launched the Hydro-efficiency Project with an ambitious challenge: to produce paper while consuming less water and minimising our environmental impact. This objective has been successfully achieved thanks to joint efforts.
Over the past 10 years, water consumption has been reduced by 55%. Savings equivalent to the annual consumption of 71,000 households have also been achieved, and discharges have been reduced by 60%, improving water quality with a reduction of up to 70% in pollutant parameters.
To achieve these results, technologies were implemented that enable water reuse, and a continuous improvement plan was designed to optimise processes and reduce waste.
Thanks to these initiatives, we demonstrate our commitment to caring for the environment and sustainability, moving towards a more responsible future that respects the natural resources we all share.
15th October – Global Handwashing Day
Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of washing and drying your hands properly?
Proper hand hygiene can help prevent various types of infections and diseases!
Here is a quick refresher on how to do it properly, using tissue paper.
European Tissue Symposium, thank you for the reminder.
Employees have their say: ICT Poland grows together with its people.
ICT Poland conducted an employee satisfaction survey with the aim of identifying areas that influence employee satisfaction and indicating potential directions for development or changes to be introduced.
The ICT Poland job satisfaction survey questionnaire included both an assessment of specific work-related aspects and open-ended questions, allowing employees to freely express their opinions on topics they considered relevant.
The survey results indicate that the overall level of job satisfaction is significantly higher than the national average and the average for manufacturing companies.
The highest scores were given to working conditions and tools, internal communication and the company's image as an employer.
It is worth noting that the survey involved the entire organisation across the board, and its format allowed participants to provide not only numerical ratings but also personal reflections. This made it possible to gather a wealth of feedback.
We would like to thank all participants for their participation and commitment; every opinion is important for our development.
A look back at a memorable day at ICT France!
On September 13, ICT France had the pleasure of organizing a Family Day, a warm and festive moment dedicated to employees and their families.
On the program:
- Factory tour
- Makeup stands, children's games and carousel
- Candy bar, pancakes and cotton candy for those with a sweet tooth
Smiles, good humor and a friendly atmosphere punctuated this beautiful day!
Advancing the circular economy with the donation of reverse osmosis membranes
At ICT, we remain committed to the circular economy through concrete actions. For this reason, we have donated the reverse osmosis membranes to Ecomemb for regeneration and reuse, thus avoiding their disposal in landfill.
Reverse osmosis membranes are essential filters in water treatment, removing mineral salts and bacteria to obtain the highest quality water for tissue paper manufacturing. When they are no longer functional, instead of throwing them away, they can now have a second useful life.
Thanks to this initiative, we managed to reduce CO₂ emissions by 4,628 kg —associated with the manufacture and transport of new membranes— and prevented the generation of 810 kg of plastic waste. In doing so, we minimise our environmental impact and reaffirm our commitment to environmental management.
ICT Group's 2024 Consolidated Annual Report

The Yankee Dryer cylinder has arrived at our new plant in UK!
We are proud to announce the arrival of the first Yankee Dryer at our new plant in the United Kingdom.
The Yankee Dryer, the heart of the tissue machine, is used in the paper drying process: a key technology to ensure quality, performance, and consistency in the final product.
A historic moment for our team and the entire organization:
- A new manufacturing site in the UK,
- A critical technology for the production of high-quality tissue,
- A continued commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.
This milestone represents much more than a technical installation: it marks the beginning of a new chapter driven by innovation, passion, and growth.
Welcome, Yankee Dryer. Welcome, future.
World Environment Day - 5 June 2025
Today, on World Environment Day, we reflect on the importance of a sustainable future and our daily commitment to protect the planet we live in.
As a responsible company, we are committed to optimising our production processes as much as possible: we adopt efficient technologies to minimise resource, consumption and emissions.
The 2025 edition of World Environment Day focuses particularly on combating plastic pollution, an issue that has become increasingly relevant in recent years, that affects ecosystems and human health all over the world and that requires action from everyone.
Every action, however small, can contribute to positive change.
In collaboration with Plastic Bank, ICT’s brand Foxy is committed to recovering plastic waste abandoned in the environment. In the first year of this partnership, 15,750,000 plastic bottles were recovered from the environment, supporting our mission to stop plastic pollution.

ICT Poland focuses on efficiency with the new LGV system
We are pleased to announce the launch of a “state of the art” Laser Guided Vehicle (LGV) system at our Kostrzyn nad Odrą facility. This investment represents a significant step forward in our commitment to innovation, safety and operational excellence.
The system will automate the internal transport of finished products to the automated high-bay warehouse, and internal transport of raw materials optimizing logistics.
Key benefits:
- Efficiency: shorter cycle times and optimized workflows
- Safety: less manual handling, lower risk
- Scalability: ready to support future production expansions
This project reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in technological solutions that support sustainable growth and meet the evolving needs of our customers.
A big thank you to the entire team and partners involved for their outstanding work.
Stay tuned for future updates!
