Interesting Origin Story of Toilet Paper

Arthur Scott invented toilet paper!

At the beginning of the 20th century, nearly 100 years ago, Scott Paper Company of the United States bought a large number of paper. Due to negligence in the transportation process, the paper surface was wet and wrinkled and could not be used. Faced with the useless paper in a warehouse, everyone did not know what to do.

At the meeting of supervisors, someone suggested returning the paper to the supplier to reduce the loss. This proposal was seconded by everyone. Arthur Scott, the head of the company, did not think so. He thought of making holes in the roll of paper and making it easy to tear it into small pieces. Scott named this paper “Sonny” sanitary napkin, and sold it to train stations, restaurants, schools, and other places to put it in toilets. Because it was very easy to use, it became very popular, and gradually spread to ordinary families, creating a lot of profits for the company.

Why is recycled toilet paper more environmentally friendly?

Many people call recycled toilet paper green paper. Why? Recycled toilet paper is a kind of paper made from waste paper through more than ten processes, such as sorting, purification, beating and papermaking. 80% of its raw materials come from recycled waste paper, so it is known as environmental protection paper with low energy consumption and light pollution.

The paper industry is a kind of pollution industry.

Recycled paper can reduce wastewater discharge by 50% in the manufacturing process. In particular, it can save several processes in the early stage of papermaking and will not produce black liquor. Therefore, the environmental pollution caused by recycled toilet paper during papermaking is much lower than that of ordinary paper.
