Dung from the iconic Chinese bears is now being used to make a bizarre line of napkins, tissues, and toilet paper, local media\u00a0reported. Panda droppings are collected from the world\u2019s largest panda sanctuary \u2013 the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda \u2013 and sent to the Sichuan Jianwei Fengsheng Paper Company.<\/p>\n

Pandas get what they want and we do too. It\u2019s a win-win,\u201d\u00a0the company\u2019s chairman, Yang Chaolin, said. The \u2018Panda poo\u2019 line is already on sale, and if you dare try it, be prepared to pay 43 yuan (US$6.50) for one box of tissue \u2013 more than 10 times the cost of regular tissue. The producer\u00a0claims\u00a0that the item is absolutely hygienic, as the waste goes through a complex manufacturing process, including washing, high-temperature sterilization, and bacteria testing.<\/p>\n

An adult giant panda usually produces more than 10kg of dung per day after consuming up to 15kg of bamboo, Huang Yan, a researcher at the panda sanctuary in Dujiangyan, Sichuan Province, says. The droppings mainly consist of broken bamboo leaves \u2013 known as \u2018green balls\u2019 by the keepers. He added that the pandas can also generate around 50kg of bamboo residue per day when they eat, and\u00a0\u201cturning this into tissue offers a perfect solution for us to deal with [the] waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
