 People
use toilet paper every day. As a matter of fact, it plays
important roles in our daily lives. Can you imagine living without toilet
paper? It would be really difficult to live without it. In fact, we use an average of 57 sheets of toilet
paper a day! But how much do you know about toilet paper?
The average roll of toilet paper weighs 227 grams, including the cardboard core tube. According
to various studies, the average
person spends three years on the
toilet over the course of a lifetime! On
average, people use a total of 57 sheets per day. That’s an annual
total of 20,805 sheets!
Then, how many days does the standard roll of toilet paper
last in a household bathroom? According
to a survey, in an average household,
the average roll of toilet paper lasts about five days. People use
approximately 8 to 9 sheets
of paper per toilet use.
We can find toilet paper very easily in Korea. But about four billion
people in the world don’t use toilet paper. People in some parts of
the world do not use toilet paper due to a lack of trees. Some people
don’t use toilet paper because they don’t have enough money to buy it.
 Two-ply
toilet paper consists of two layers of 10 thickness paper, while one
ply is made of a 13 thickness paper. So, two-ply is not necessarily twice the thickness.
When comparing one-ply and two-ply, on average one-ply toilet paper
lasts twice as long.
A single tree can produce about 810 rolls of
toilet paper. It takes about 384 trees to make the toilet paper that
one person uses within his or her lifetime. The average person uses
100 rolls of toilet paper per year. We should use toilet paper wisely to save trees! |
