Who was recycling toilet paper?
It’s not that toilet paper itself should be recycled. it’s about toilet paper made from recycled other paper.
working from home had another unexpected effect: less waste paper from offices, which means less recycled material to make toilet roll.
It's interesting to see effects of the pandemic which I never would have considered. I wonder if a similar decline would be seen in other countries or have they been using other materials?
