• Toilet paper shoppers in Kagoshima Prefecture in southern Japan have a new option, GoodNewsNetwork.org reports, rolls made from used diapers and other hygiene products.
The cities of Shibushi and Osaki worked together to recycle disposable diapers starting in April 2024.
The used items are sanitized, bleached and shredded into a pulp to be mixed with recycled paper, to the tune of 30,000 rolls in the first two months of production.
They're sold at $2.70 for a dozen rolls.
"Please support this eco-friendly product, which aims to promote a sustainable society by reusing local resources," said Takumi Obo, spokesperson for the Osaki Municipal Government's SDGs Promotion Council.
