Toilet paper is expensive, and getting moreso everyday!! If you've noticed, the latest toilet paper roll width is now 3 7/8" wide... down from 4 1/4" of about 10 years ago. Prior to that, rolls were 4 1/2" wide. Furthermore, the cardboard core is now 1 3/4" diam., from the original 1 1/2" diam. Bottom line is, we're getting much less toilet paper and paying much more money... just like everything else.

[@lo-bd6yv]

i couldnt tbh

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

I had to haul 4 of these from Kimberly Clark in Pennsylvania. So my driver manager told me, "You'll need a clean trailer." That's an understatement! I showed up with what I THOUGHT was a clean trailer. I ended up spending over a half hour with: push broom, dust mop and wet mop, then dry mop again. Then, after all that, I had to go around with a nail puller and remove a years worth of pallet nails that had been driven into the wood floor by a hundred+ forklifts. These rolls are so big and heavy, that only 4 fit, and I had to slide by tandems forward just to make the load on my rear truck axles legal (the max is 34,000 lbs. on those axles).😂 For non truck drivers. Sliding the trailer axles forward, shifts weight toward the trailer axles, which are also 34,000 pounds max. The front axle can have 12k, the rear truck axles can have 34k and the trailer axles also 34k, for a total max weight of 80k (without a special permit).

Brings back fond memories of when I used to visit paper mills for IBM. I was a paper engineer then - yeah there really is such a thing - and I was in charge of specifying and quality assuring the paper that IBM bought to resell to their printer customers. In those old days, the IBM 3800 web fed electrophotographic printer that was used by large companies, such as insurance companies, was large, fast and expensive. But the dollar amount of the paper typically used by the machine in 9 months of operation equaled the cost of the printer. The printer was a "plain paper printer" meaning that it could (and often did) use ordinary, uncoated printing paper from any source.

[@RubenDan-uc6wt]

Hello Charl, how are you doing today

[@NitroClocked]

So much compassion just for a clean but

[@ronblack7870]

amazing how those massive rolls can feed and run the paper over other rolls and not break the paper. especially wet. we all know how it falls apart when wet .

[@bobtinklepants8023]

The sheet does break as easily as you think, and save with the wires and belts that the sheet is transferred on. However there is a ton of hygiene that goes into making sure nothing comes into contact with the sheet during processing

[@BooBoo_Cat]

They never mentioned the smell it produces. I hate driving by our paper mills in Green Bay, they smell so bad

[@gailkohler9583]

We converted 500 pound blocks of paper into the finished product There never was an unpleasant smell associated with that process.

[@Meryto1]

I work at a pulp and paper producer. The smell you are referring is originated in the process of pulping - i.e. converting wood chips into pulp. The wood chips are cooked and mixed with water and chemicals that disintegrate the bonds found in the wood, resulting in pulp and some byproducts. The smell of those chemicals mixed with the black liquor that comes from wood is what usually produces some weird smells

[@bumbum1919q]

My Father worked as an industrial electrician in a local paper mill for 40 years before retiring. He got me Summer jobs at the plant for my Jr & Sr years of high school. The noise level in a paper mill is staggering, you could be standing shoulder to shoulder and have to yell as loud as you can to be heard, the heat & humidity is pretty bad too. It's amazing to watch the paper pulp being made in the beater room and watch it come down to the wet end of the machine and watch as it travels to the end as white or colored tissue paper, eventually being sold as xmas wrapping paper.

[@oldbaldguy6151]

Interesting. I used to work for Kruger tissues back in the 90's. All our paper came direct from Venezuela and we converted it, so I never saw that side of the manufacturing process!

[@MrMopar413]

I used to work in the paper industry. That paper machine is used to make all types of paper and can be refigured to do so. Some mills have multiple machines that are dedicated to making certain types of paper. Decades ago I worked for Crown Zellerback paper in their transportation and warehouse division. We had box’s of toilet paper coming out of our ass🤪😂😂👍. Our warehouse was full of it. Also rolled paper in rolls weighing several tons each. We also stored spare shaft spindles for the paper machines because they didn’t have room at the paper mills. The process of making paper hasn’t really changed from the original design by a guy in Germany around 1860 who came up with the design still used today, only the machines have gotten big and faster and computerized. I tell you if you have a problem with one of those paper machines by the time you realize it and hit the panic stop button you are up to your eyeballs in paper everywhere. The good thing is any bad end product you just gather it all up and put it in the decomposer and make new paper out of it. Even in the warehouse if paper products got damaged we just put it dumpster’s to hauled back to the paper mill to be recycled.

Kudos to our Industrial Engineers and Chemists to make this product safe and very sustainable in our every day life. ☘hoping we plant more trees by replacing it for future generations 😊

[@petuniasevan]

So many people don't realize that pulpwood is a crop, like an apple orchard or a cornfield. Takes a few years like the orchard and is harvested like the corn, then replanted. Paper companies have done this for many decades. They also recycle a large percentage of the total usage (rework, sorted industrial and household waste paper, etc).

Virgin pulp is more typically manufactured in continuous digesters, not batch as described here. We forming and pressing sections shown here are typically used in flat paper manufacture such as printing and writing. Tissue typically is made either on a yankee dryer or transpiration dryer. Pressing is really counter productive to producing a bulky, absorbent tissue product therefore it is minimal in a tissue machine.

12/2023....I didn't realize for years, that the toilet paper I grew up with,....during the years 1953 to the late 1980s,....was being NARROWED, little by little, every couple of years. So rolls before the 80s were wider. This is in the USA. I'm guessing this was done to maximize profit, and perhaps use less paper. I found a vintage roll of TP, in my pantry, and was surprised how much wider it was. I saw an PBS/NPR special on the topic too.
