Many people have wondered where toilet paper is made. We made our search and found the answers many are looking for. So we thought to share them with you in this comprehensive post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is toilet paper made? <\/span>China produces the most toilet papers in the world followed by the USA, and then Japan. However, most of the toilet papers sold and used in the US (more than 90%) are produced in the US. The remaining are imported from other countries. Most of these imported toilet papers come from Canada, China, and Mexico.<\/b><\/p>\n

What Country is Toilet Paper Made In?<\/span><\/h1>\n

Several countries, including China, America, Japan, Germany, Korea, and Canada, among many others, make toilet paper. But most toilet papers in the world are made in China. America is the second-largest toilet paper producing country in the world and Japan is the third-largest.<\/b><\/p>\n

China is both <\/span>the largest producer <\/span><\/a>and largest exporter of toilet papers in the world. But while America is the second-largest producer of toilet rolls, it ranks 8th among the countries exporting toilet rolls. Japan is the third-largest producing country, but it is not among the top 60 countries exporting toilet rolls in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are the top 3 countries producing toilet papers in the world:<\/span><\/p>\n

China<\/span><\/h2>\n

As of 2004, America was producing more toilet papers than China, but by 2015, China\u2019s paper industry already had more than twice its 2014 production capacity. Thus China became the largest producer of paper worldwide, producing <\/span>about 9 million metric tons<\/span><\/a> of sanitary papers yearly. <\/span><\/p>\n

As of 2015 when China became the largest producer of toilet papers, Germany was still the largest toilet paper exporting country in the world. China was the number two paper exporter at that time. But now, China has taken the top spot as <\/span>the largest exporter of toilet papers<\/span><\/a> while Germany is number two.<\/span><\/p>\n

United States<\/span><\/h2>\n

America\u2019s paper production began in 1730 long before the Declaration of Independence. To date, America is the largest consumer of paper products in the world. But it does fairly well in production and export too, ranking second only to China in production and 8th in toilet paper exportation. <\/span><\/p>\n

While China\u2019s paper industry thrives on virgin pulp, America\u2019s paper industry mostly uses recovered fiber. More than two-thirds of the papers consumed in America come from reclaimed or recycled paper, which is safe for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan<\/span><\/h2>\n

The traditional papermakers of Japan are their national treasures because they make several million metric tons of beautiful and artistic papers. But they make lots of toilet paper too. However, most of the toilet paper produced in Japan is consumed in Japan. Japan is not among the top 60 toilet paper exporting countries in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
