Japan's Oriental Company recently unveiled an amazing invention - A machine that recycles used office paper into rolls of toilet paper!
The completely automated machine, aptly named 'White Goat', shreds the paper that is fed in from one end and turns it into pulp. It then removes any foreign objects, thins, dries and rolls the resulting paper - and voila out comes the toilet paper - all within 30 minutes!
The only drawback to this cool invention, which won the innovation award at the 2010 Eco International Fair, is the price, which is a hefty $100,000USD - However, with every machine estimated to save 60 cedar trees a year, companies may realize that the long-term benefits to our planet, far outweigh this one time cost!
