April 27, 2026
The Center for Baby and Adult Hygiene Products (BAHP) recently participated as a speaker at the 2026 TISSUE & HYGIENE Conference, held during CIDPEX in Nanjing, China, one of the world’s leading events for the hygiene products industry.
Bringing together experts from across North America, Europe, and Asia, the conference serves as a global platform for discussing trends, innovation, and the future of tissue and hygiene products. BAHP joined the event virtually as part of the Disposable Hygiene Products session, contributing a North American perspective to conversations shaping the industry worldwide.
Representing the U.S. Industry on a Global Stage

BAHP Deputy Director Giovanna Komst delivered the presentation on behalf of the organization, sharing insights into how the U.S. regulatory and policy landscape is evolving and how those changes may impact manufacturers, consumers, and global supply chains.
The session brought together industry leaders to exchange perspectives on product safety, sustainability, and transparency: key issues affecting hygiene product markets around the world.
