A welsh company has launched a new environmentally-friendly paper product which helps the environment by recycling the very best and finest materials: sheep shit.
Instead of using the wood and fibres from trees, this paper uses fresh cellulose fibres from sheep poo:
We take great care to collect super-fresh sheep poo from the beautiful (and rainy) mountains of rural Wales and take it back to the mill, situated in southern Snowdonia. We don’t just make Sheep Poo Paper™ and for our other papers we use waste paper, rag and textile off-cuts and just about anything else we can think of that has good length cellulose fibers in it.
It may sound worrying but don’t worry – it’s sterilized by cooking it in a pressure cooker at 120 degrees using Welsh mineral water.
Perhaps we’re only years away from having a roll of sheep shit toilet paper by toilets throughout the nation.
Hah, thats a really brilliant idea!
Have you seen how much it is? O_o
omg! tht’s sooo cool, but ummm, isn’t it very expensive or sumthing?dunno! hehe
well done. we are currently involved in a project to build and sail across the Atlantic, an inflatable vessel constructed entirely from discarded condoms which we also have collected from rest areas within the national park. Dont worry though, we have swilled them out first and held them on a rolling boil for fifteen minutes to kill of any infections.
Please can you tell me where to buy some sheep poo. I have bought my son (an environmental officer) a Kelly Kettle for Christmas and apparently, apart from fir cones ,the best fuel is Sheep Poo. Please can you help.
Many thanks,
