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
It is with great satisfaction that we announce that the ICT Group's 2024 Consolidated Annual Report brochure is now available, attesting to the ever-increasing growth of our group.
Special thanks go to all the people of the ICT Group who, inspired by the company values and with great teamwork, face and manage the continuous challenges on a daily basis in order to achieve the company goals.
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.

FIRST OF MAY – LABOUR’S DAY
Today we celebrate work. But above all people and their commitment.
On the occasion of Labour's Day, we want to pay tribute to our employees, who every day with commitment, passion and professionalism contribute to the success of ICT, in Italy and in all our foreign companies.
Thank you to each and every one of you for being a fundamental part of our growth project.
APRIL 28th – WORLD DAY FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
Today we celebrate a value that, for us, is not just an anniversary but a daily commitment: the protection of health and safety in the workplace.
We work every day to ensure safe environments, careful processes and a culture of prevention shared by all. From the factory worker to the employee working in the office, everyone must be able to carry out their tasks under the appropriate and legally required safety conditions.
A special thanks to those who, every day, strive to maintain this high standard.
Experts discuss hand hygiene and indoor air quality in healthcare facilities at the Senate.
On 25 March, a press conference at the Italian Senate in Rome highlighted the importance of hand hygiene and indoor air quality in healthcare facilities. Organized in collaboration with Assocarta and Afidamp, and led by Senator Ignazio Zullo, the event stressed the need for preventive hygiene measures.
Francesco Pasquini (Assocarta & Afidamp) emphasized that proper hand drying is crucial in infection prevention. Italy, the top European producer of hygienic paper, plays a key role in this sector.
Gaetano Settimo (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) underlined the impact of air quality on health and the importance of indoor air quality in healthcare facilities and workplaces. Dr. Mark Wilcox (NHS England) warned against electric hand dryers, which can spread bacteria, advocating for paper towels instead.
The event called for improved hygiene policies in healthcare to better protect public health and safety.
It is motivating and gratifying for ICT to be part of this important hygienic sector, helping to promote health and safety improvements through our daily work
Congratulations to Assocarta and Afidamp on the organisation and success of the event.
We look forward to seeing you at the Marca Fair
MARCA by BolognaFiere, the large international Private Label trade show organized by BolognaFiere Group in partnership with #ADM, will take place in Bologna on the 15th and 16th January 2025. We will be there and we are looking forward to welcome you at Hall 30 Stand E65.
