Reinventing the toilet roll -and giving it a flushable core

摘要

Tork manufacturer SCA believes itself to be the only hygiene tissue manufacturer to have come up with a toilet roll with a flushable core. The Aqua Tube has been designed to be flushed away with just one flush. "This new product will revolutionise toilet rolls as we know them," said SCA's senior product manager, Stephen Wright. "Most of the toilet paper we use today is on a roll - whether a conventional toilet roll, a jumbo roll, a mini-jumbo, or a twin roll. But the cores have always been a problem as they need to be collected and discarded after the roll has been used up - and this adds to the maintenance burden of the cleaner And if the cores are inadvertently thrown down the toilet, they are likely to block the system."
