Loo-py! Japanese machine turns office paper into toilet roll.

 

Japanese scientists have come up with an ingenious method of recycling the mountains of office paper waste - by turning it into toilet paper.

The oddly named 'White Goat' machine is 6ft-tall and weighs a hefty 94st.

It works using an automatic system that creates one new roll from 40 sheets of A4 in just 30 minutes.

The 'White Goat', a machine created by Oriental Co Ltd uses 40 sheets of A4 office paper and water to make one roll of toilet paper

Waste paper is fed into a shredder on the machine, which is then untangled and dissolved in a pulper. Any foreign matter is removed and the wet paper is thinned out and dried. Finally this is wound into toilet rolls, which emerge one at a time.

According to its manufacturer Oriental Co Ltd, White Goat could save 60 cedar trees every year and is incredibly simply to use.
