Hi, ex-pat here...Smiley Happy

 

Something very strange is going on over on this side of the pond....the major toilet tissue manufacturers have started to sell toilet rolls without the cardboard roll in the middle..??

Less waste I guess...?

 

Roll with the times: U.S. company takes the cardboard OUT of toilet paper for first time in a century in move to cut down on waste

  • Kimberly-Clark Corp. has removed the cardboard tube from toilet roll
  • Tubeless Scott Naturals tissue will be rolled out nationwide through Walmart.
  • The roll should work with any common toilet-paper dispenser
  • Move could stop 17 billion cardboard tubes being thrown away each year
  • Scott Paper Co was the first to insert a cardboard tube into the roll

The very narrow ones seem t be common in hotels and on public transport; the solution is not to fold them neatle but to cross-fold in an alternating manner so you end up with the size you need. For perforations that don't line up - take one ply of the sheet and unroll it backwards - the performations will then line up with the second ply.

But the leftover cardboard middles are a useful addition to a compost bin, when torn up!  And they have so many uses for imaginative children!
