Not only can toilet paper be used for the expected bathroom activities, but now thanks to chemists at the University of Amsterdam, it is possible to convert the waste toilet paper into electricity. By using gastrification and then reaction to air in a fuel cell, the used toilet paper is recycled into electricity.
Being a rich source of carbon, companies are often paid to take the waste toilet paper. This is also considered a renewable resource considering the cellulose that makes the paper comes from trees. All around, if this new conversion of waste toilet paper can be expanded upon, it would definitely help lessen the waste we leave on this planet.
To think theres ANOTHER use for toilet paper aside from the expected? https://t.co/EeLaRAVL9f #bscfh2o #sustainability
