Sofidel Introduces Bacteria-eating Toilet Paper


Porcari, Lucca, Italy 13 September 2017 -- Sofidel has introduced Papernet Bio Tech, the first toilet paper to use innovative Biologic Active Tissue Paper (BATP) technology.

When the toilet paper makes contact with water, natural, non-pathogenic microorganisms are activated and produce enzymes to eat away dirt. Once their work is complete, the enzymes bio-degrade, leaving no residue or negative environmental impact.

"A poorly maintained restroom can negatively impact a business's reputation and the bottom line, so it's important to stock innovative products that actually improve the restroom experience," said Fabio Vitali, Vice President AFH Marketing & Sales for Sofidel America. "Bio Tech is designed to help reduce odors and clogs in pipes, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and limiting the frequency of expensive and time-consuming repairs."

In about four weeks, the sanitizing effect of Papernet's Bio Tech toilet paper helps to free pipes, septic tanks, and sewer systems of dirt to help prevent blockages. Sample studies prove that the exclusive use of Bio Tech drastically reduces the need to pump out the sewer system and enables total savings of up to 40 percent compared with standard toilet paper. The product also helps fight unpleasant restroom odors that can turn away guests and attract insects.
