LISBOA, February 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Trata-se de uma inovação no segmento dos rolos de papel higiénico e uma das mais atractivas inovações para os consumidores.

- Um estudo (1) revelou que mais de 73% dos consumidores considera é sempre a sua vez de limpar e mudar o rolo de papel higiénico. O Aqua Tube offerece a solução perfeita, permitindo aos utilizadores 'descarregar' o rolo pelo cano abaixo.

A Colhogar, uma das marcas Georgia-Pacific, líder em papel higiénico, acaba de lançar o AquaTube(TM) /Flush&Go(TM), o primeiro rolo totalmente biodegradável e completamente soluvel com o objectivo de oferecer aos seus consumidores um maior conforto e comodidade. Um estudo recente, desenvolvido pela Georgia-Pacific, em países como a França, Bélgica e Espanha demonstra que 80% dos consumidores estão interessados em usar o AquaTube(TM), e consideram que realmente lhes vai facilitar a vida. 73% dos inquiridos acham que é sempre a sua vez de mudar o rolo. Graças ao Tube(TM) não haverá mais confusão quando o rolo acabar: basta deitar o rolo na sanita, puxar o autoclismo e este se dissolverá.

Descoberta Inovadora para sector

Os testes com o consumidor mostraram-nos que o Aqua Tube(TM) é uma importante inovação nos produtos de quarto de banho. Mais de metade dos consumidores inquiridos responderam que não reciclam os seus rolos; preferem deixá-los à responsabilidade de outra pessoa ou metê-los no lixo normal. Esta pesquisa ainda revelou que dos produtos feitos de papel, é o rolo de papel o menos provável de ser reciclado com um número de 55%.

O rolo solúvel Aqua Tube(TM), oferece uma nova opção aos consumidores. Este rolo de 'nova-geração' é o primeiro produto para este tipo de mercado. Pela primeira vez, os consumidores poderão ou descarregar o rolo ou reciclá-lo.

O Aqua Tube(TM) representa uma novidade sem precedentes. A Colhogar descobriu uma forma de desenvolver um papel tão potente que pode ser usado como rolo e ao mesmo tempo pode rapidamente ser dissolvido quando contacta com a água. E como é feito de material biodegradável, começa a sua desintegração logo que é descarregado.

Resultados principais da investigação

A marca de papel higiénico Georgia Pacific/ Collogar desenvolveu esta pesquisa via Ipsos em Espanha, França e Bélgica, consultando mais de 3000 consumidores. Destacam-se os principais resultados:

- 82% dos consumidores entrevistados mostraram interesse em adquirir o novo Aqua Tube(TM). As razões principais prendem-se com a conveniência (38%) e meio ambiente (30%).

- Isto faz sentido se tivermos em consideração que apenas 55% dos consumidores reciclam os seus rolos; Um em cada cinco simplesmente metem os rolos no lixo comum e apenas um em cada três deixam-nos simplesmente no suporte da casa-de-banho para que a próxima pessoa o substitua.

- As mulheres substituem o rolo de papel higiénico com mais frequência que os homens (83% contra 62%) o que faz com que o Aqua Tube(TM)/Flush&Go(TM) seja uma inovação relevante para o mercado.

- 65% dos inquiridos acreditam que terem um rolo solúvel fará com que os outros membros da casa substituam mais vezes os rolos.

(1)Estudo realizado pela marca de papel higiénico Georgia-Pacífic/Colhogar via Ipsos na Bélgica, França e Espanha, com mais de 3000 consumidores inquiridos.

Igansi Martín, Director da Georgia Pacific Espanha e Portugal: Os resultados do nosso estudo mostram claramente que o Aqua Tube(TM)/Flush&Go(TM ) terá um impacto considerável na forma como experienciamos as nossas idas à casa de banho visto que nós trateremos de eliminar um dos principais aborrecimentos apontados pelos consumidores. O Aqua Tube(TM) /Flush&Go(TM)irá tornar as idas à casa de banho mais cómodas; tudo o que necessitam de fazer é 'descarregar o rolo' pela sanita e este irá imediatamente desintegrar-se. Na Colhogar, acreditamos que o Aqua Tube é a nova geração de rolos e o futuro do papel higiénico. É um rolo cíclico pois poderá 'descarregá-lo' ou reciclá-lo. Com esta mais recente inovação, estamos a demonstrar que a Colhogar é líder na categoria do papel higiénico e que responde verdadeiramente às necessidades dos seus consumidores.

O Aqua Tube estará disponível em toda a Europa a partir de 2011.
