A revolutionary new machine that converts office paper into toilet paper (video)
Posted by Katie Machol on Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 4:57 PM
Forget the iPad, this has to be one of the coolest inventions I've seen in awhile. A Japanese company has created the "White Goat", a machine that takes unwanted office paper and transforms it into toilet paper!
The machine simply requires paper, which it shreds into a pulp, and water (about 2.5-4 gallons every other day) to create one roll of toilet paper in about 30 minutes. 40 sheets of A4 office paper goes into one roll, and that even includes documents with print on them. By using the White Goat, Oriental says that you could save 60 cedar trees a year.
Basically, you could kill two birds with one stone by using this machine: keep official documents within the company and save a ton on toilet paper every year. Oh, and save a lot of trees too.
The White Goat operates on a standard 100v power supply and requires no special plumbing or electrical work for installation. It will be available by this summer, the company says, and the cost will be about 9,000,000 yen ($99,000+ US).
