Aqua Tube™ is so simple to use. Just throw the empty roll in the toilet instead of the rubbish bin. After using the toilet, simply flush the Aqua Tube™ together with any toilet paper. Aqua Tube™ will disappear in toilet and then disintegrate 100% of the time and never block the toilet.

Yes. Aqua Tube™ can be used in any toilet - even if you have an older system, live in an old building, use a septic tank or have a macerator toilet. Aqua Tube™ can be flushed just like toilet paper.

Aqua Tube™ is suitable for any toilet and can be flushed just like toilet paper. The tube disappears together with the toilet paper and is broken down completely inside the drain pipes.

No. You can flush as soon as you throw the Aqua Tube in the toilet, just like actual toilet paper. Aqua Tube will start to disintegrate with the movement of the water in the drain pipes.

No. You should use full flush for Aqua Tube.

The flushability of Aqua Tube was demonstrated by a series of tests conducted by an independent laboratory.  They confirm that Aqua Tube disappeared during the tests after just one flush, according to their test method.

No, Aqua Tube needs water to dissolve. Aqua Tube will disappear entirely after just one full flush.

No, only Aqua Tube has a special tube which can be disposed of in the toilet.

Aqua Tube has proven flushability. It is suitable for any toilet and can be flushed just like toilet paper. The tube disappears together with the toilet paper and is broken down completely inside the drain pipes.

No. Flushing the core is the same as flushing normal toilet paper. As it doesn't require a separate flush, it doesn't use more water. So you won't use any more water than normal.

Aqua Tube is biodegradable; it is made with renewable and biodegradable materials. Aqua Tube is made with 100% wood pulp from suppliers certified for sustainable foresting

That is not what we are doing.  If you are used to recycling you should continue doing so.  We are also encouraging consumers who prefer not to flush Aqua Tube, to recycle.  The reality is that only 50% of consumers recycle their traditional cardboard cores today.  With Aqua Tube we are offering an alternative way of disposal.  Using the methodology that was developed by an external expert group, we conducted a full LCA.  Results confirm that the impact of a product with Aqua Tube compared to a product using a traditional cardboard core is equal on the environment.

Like the traditional cardboard core, Aqua Tube can naturally be recycled.  We actually encourage those consumers who are already recycling their cores to continue to do so with Aqua Tube.  What we have done is taking the concept of the traditional core one step further by introducing Aqua Tube which can be recycled and flushed.

Yes! Aqua Tube is made from renewable and biodegradable materials. Aqua Tube's production process is unique. We have discovered a way to make paper so strong that it can be used as a tube while still rapidly decomposing when it comes into contact with water. Biodegradable means that the product will completely disintegrate and disappear once it is flushed.

Global consumer tests clearly indicated that left-behind cores and untidy bathrooms were a major nuisance and quite often even a source of dispute in households.  The consumer tests were carried out by an independent organization in the US and 13 different countries and a 'flushable-core' was the most appealing concept across a series of alternative innovations.  The reality shows that 50% of consumers don't find the traditional cardboard core practical, and actually only 50% of the cardboard cores are recycled.

So we are introducing Aqua Tube which is the only tube that can be recycled and flushed.  For those consumers who already recycle, they can continue to do so with Aqua Tube.  For those who considered the traditional cardboard core a nuisance and unpractical, we are offering an alternative way of disposal.  Using the methodology that was developed by an external expert group, we conducted a full LCA.  Results confirm that the impact of a product with Aqua Tube compared to a product using a traditional cardboard core is equal on the environment.

Aqua Tube is made out of the same material as bathroom tissue.  The core represents roughly 4% more weight compared to tissue and the additional amount is marginal compared to the usage of bathroom tissue.  Because Aqua Tube is comparable to bathroom tissue and is also biodegradable, it has no significant impact on water treatment plants.  We have undertaken a significant amount of analysis at a biological treatment pilot plant before launching Aqua Tube.
