PANDA FAECES TO BE USED AS TOILET PAPER

A Chinese paper company will soon be producing toilet paper made from giant panda faeces and food scraps, state media said on Wednesday. Sichuan Qianwei Fengsheng Paper Company has engineered a way to recycle the copious faeces produced daily by the furry residents of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda in south-west China, Xinhua said. The company signed a deal with the centre on Monday, according to the news outlet. Due to pandas’ bamboo-heavy diet, their excrement is fibre rich, the news agency said.
