How Toilet Paper is Made
How Toilet Paper is Made
Most of us can’t imagine our lives without toilet paper. Not only is it used for bathroom hygiene but also for nose care, wiping up spills, removing makeup, and small bathroom cleaning chores. The average American uses over 100 single rolls each year and if that statistic is taken into account, it more than well explains the revenue generated by the industry worldwide. A jaw-dropping 100 billion dollars! So how do they make toilet paper?

Toilet paper is expensive, and getting moreso everyday!! If you've noticed, the latest toilet paper roll width is now 3 7/8" wide... down from 4 1/4" of about 10 years ago. Prior to that, rolls were 4 1/2" wide. Furthermore, the cardboard core is now 1 3/4" diam., from the original 1 1/2" diam. Bottom line is, we're getting much less toilet paper and paying much more money... just like everything else.

They never mentioned the smell it produces. I hate driving by our paper mills in Green Bay, they smell so bad
Very educational 😊Thanks for sharing this video😊
Brings back fond memories of when I used to visit paper mills for IBM. I was a paper engineer then - yeah there really is such a thing - and I was in charge of specifying and quality assuring the paper that IBM bought to resell to their printer customers. In those old days, the IBM 3800 web fed electrophotographic printer that was used by large companies, such as insurance companies, was large, fast and expensive. But the dollar amount of the paper typically used by the machine in 9 months of operation equaled the cost of the printer. The printer was a "plain paper printer" meaning that it could (and often did) use ordinary, uncoated printing paper from any source.

Correct. I winced when I heard decomposers. You'd think the producers of the video would have researched and corrected this flub.
That dryer roller weighs over 180 tons. The factory i help install had roles up to 15,000 lbs and used clamping forklifts to grab them and move them. Even stacking them . Everything about the operation is big . Including the super sized saw blades.
I used to work in the paper industry. That paper machine is used to make all types of paper and can be refigured to do so. Some mills have multiple machines that are dedicated to making certain types of paper. Decades ago I worked for Crown Zellerback paper in their transportation and warehouse division. We had box’s of toilet paper coming out of our ass🤪😂😂👍. Our warehouse was full of it. Also rolled paper in rolls weighing several tons each. We also stored spare shaft spindles for the paper machines because they didn’t have room at the paper mills. The process of making paper hasn’t really changed from the original design by a guy in Germany around 1860 who came up with the design still used today, only the machines have gotten big and faster and computerized. I tell you if you have a problem with one of those paper machines by the time you realize it and hit the panic stop button you are up to your eyeballs in paper everywhere. The good thing is any bad end product you just gather it all up and put it in the decomposer and make new paper out of it. Even in the warehouse if paper products got damaged we just put it dumpster’s to hauled back to the paper mill to be recycled.

Until now i really "valued" toilet paper, and much more of realizing this "amazing" machines.

Virgin pulp is more typically manufactured in continuous digesters, not batch as described here. We forming and pressing sections shown here are typically used in flat paper manufacture such as printing and writing. Tissue typically is made either on a yankee dryer or transpiration dryer. Pressing is really counter productive to producing a bulky, absorbent tissue product therefore it is minimal in a tissue machine.
12/2023....I didn't realize for years, that the toilet paper I grew up with,....during the years 1953 to the late 1980s,....was being NARROWED, little by little, every couple of years. So rolls before the 80s were wider. This is in the USA. I'm guessing this was done to maximize profit, and perhaps use less paper. I found a vintage roll of TP, in my pantry, and was surprised how much wider it was. I saw an PBS/NPR special on the topic too.

This is a multi billion dollar global industry. Everyone alive needs to crap, and in most parts of the world people are using toilet paper. Toilet paper is not going to become obsolete any time soon. In fact it is a growing industry as population is growing. Buying shares of companies that manufacture and distribute toilet paper looks to be a worth while long term investment.

Bought handheld bidet 3 years ago (in 2020) and use zero toilet paper now. Saves a ton of money and WAY cleaner. Handheld bidet costs about $30-$70 (now, in Jan 2024). Do your own math and compare that to what you spend on TP. Installs in 5 minutes, super simple, no plumber needed. Cut up old tshirts and keep by toilet to dry off (it’s only water, folks). Toss them in the wash. Simple. Cheap. Sanitary.
At 6:29 you forgot to mention about 1 ply, half ply, quarter ply papers. The almost transparent ones are probably tenth ply, right?
