Shredded Paper Recycled to Toilet Paper
Posted 2/27/10 via DailyBento

toiletpaper

The machine has a shredding machine built inside it and the shredded office paper first goes into a hopper where it is untangled in small batches and then dissolved in a pulper.

Any foreign matter is removed in a tank, and the pulp consistency is adjusted. Next, the wet paper is thinned out and dried. The dry paper is wound into finished toilet rolls, which emerge from the outlet one at a time. All of these tasks are done automatically.  The White Goat machine won a top prize at the Monozukuri Nippon awards and it has patents pending.

    I don't see how that could be very comfortable. I think its very green. But I would have to feel it first.

    That's Japanese technology for you! This is so great though, using all that paper to good use. Even if the quality isn't the greatest, you're saving money and paper... I wonder if those little black things were the ink from the paper. :O

    This is by far the best idea to prevent identity theft. By the time the bad guys get to it, the paper will be wet and crappy on top of being a jumbled mess. I'd like to see any criminal try to get something useful out of that.

    That is crazy technology. But in reality, it could be a great way to recycle and reduce everyday waste.
