In the 21st century, toilet paper is a sanitary paper product designed for everyday household use. The main requirements of consumers for this type of product are as follows: reasonable price, softness, good absorption, quick dissolution in sewage, strength, ease of use.
What toilet paper is made of
Toilet paper uses three types of raw material.
- The highest quality tissue paper (GBP) is made from natural wood pulp. It is safe, environmentally friendly, completely soluble in water. It is characterized by purity of color (no gray shades).
- The raw material can be recycled waste paper, which is first cleaned, then crushed and washed with water. The longer the wash lasts, the whiter and better the paper will be. The cost of products from such materials is significantly lower. But the paper often remains greyish, rougher, less soluble in the sewer.
- Practiced alsomixing the first two raw materials.
In the Russian Federation there are certain standards that toilet paper must comply with - GOST R 52354-2005.
Tissue Requirements
It is important that paper used in sanitary and hygienic purposes has a number of special properties. First of all, its safety for human he alth is taken into account. There are also certain technical requirements for paper products.
Toilet paper (GOST R 52354-2005) should have a roll width of 9 cm, and the area of one sheet should be 110 cm2(deviations of no more than 5% are allowed). The fiber composition of products may contain cellulose, wood pulp, chemical fibers, waste paper.

No oil stains, dirty water stains, uneven or dirty edges are allowed.
Toilet paper manufacturers are required to properly package (fully paper or film) and label their products. The label must include detailed product information. Namely: by whom, when, where and from what (raw materials, impregnation, dyes) it was produced; the number of rolls in the package; sheet sizes (paper tape length); disposal method; compliance with a standard or specification; expiration date.
The largest manufacturers of toilet paper in Russia
Inhabitants of the Russian Federation use more than 230 thousand tons of toilet paper a year. In terms of one citizen, it turns out that Russians transfer this product much less than Americans or Japanese (according to analysts). However, since 2013, there has been a significant increase in the demand and production of toilet paper in our country.
