‘Branded’ Facial Tissues Were Made From Used Toilet Paper
People in China have been warned to check their tissues carefully after a couple sold 300 tonnes worth of ‘branded’ paper products made from used toilet rolls. The husband and wife, known as Mr Li and Ms Jie, owned an illegal paper processing plant in Pei County, eastern China, reported People’s Daily Online. There, they used old napkins, papers and even toilet rolls to create tissues which they sold as branded products. Over the two years that they were in business, the manufacturer made 2 million Yuan (£200,000). The operation was extremely secretive and neighbours said that the front door to the 4,305 square foot farm house was always shut. In addition, the workers only came in during the night. One local resident commented: ‘The loading and unloading also only happens at night.’ Inside the processing factory, the full scope of the unlawful process was revealed.
