Britain tops world in toilet paper use
A report from the tissue industry has revealed compared to
other major nations, Britain far surpasses the average
amount of toilet paper used annually. Industry figures
have revealed the average British citizen flushes 39 pounds
of toilet paper each year, a figure nearly 2 1/2 times the
average use of European residents, the Telegraph said.
Close behind Britain was the United States and its annual
average of 34.5 pounds per person while the European
Union's new Baltic countries held up the rear with an
8.5 pound average. While Western Europe maintains an
annual average usage of 27 pounds, industry experts are
predicting that Europe will see a 40 percent increase
in the lavatory product over the next decade. The paper
said such claims of increased success were due in part
to revolutionary toilet paper concepts such as the
Portuguese brand, Renova Black, whose dark colored product
has been filling international bathrooms as of late.
