America`s BuyFirst Network has introduced its product RR cores, a concept for use in rolled paper products.
RR cores replace the tubes with a reusable core that, according to the business, works equally as well on tubed, compressed tubed and tube free rolls.
BuyFirst Network added this has [a significant beneficial effect on the environment".
RR cores fit on to any existing bath tissue holder that uses a spring-loaded roller axle.
The patented product – which the business said helps tissue producers reduce bulky packaging, storage, and shipping by up to 30% – has now been launched into the global tissue market.
Russell Rickert, Chief Executive at BuyFirst Network, said to TWM: [RR cores are an innovative, inexpensive and simple device that will help tissue manufacturers deliver their paper products to end-users in a cost-effective and environmentally conscience manner.
[Compressing the rolled paper tissue reduces the overall volume of products up to 30%, allowing for shipping more rolls of product with less air.
[After compressing the overall packing, the RR core brings the rolled paper tissue back to life."
