A new law which is set to come into force next month may lead to a shortage of toilet roll on shop shelves, experts have warned.
This will be a familiar memory for many, as the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic saw panic buyers clear out supermarket shelves of the essential household product.
Now, a new EU law aiming to ban products linked to deforestation could mean that similar scenes could be just around the corner due to a "lack of preparation" for the new regulations.
Chronicle Live reports that Chris Forbes is the boss of Cheeky Panda, a company which produces toilet paper made from bamboo.
He's said the ban on products linked to deforestation from May will have a "gigantic effect" on the toilet paper industry, as many companies are still heavily reliant on virgin pulp as a raw material and so will struggle to make the changes needed in time for the new rules.
"There will definitely be a squeeze on availability and we can expect the price of recycled tissue to rise as demand for alternatives increases,” Forbes told The Grocer.
He said “the vast majority” of tissue products – such as toilet paper, facial tissues and paper towels – sold in the UK and EU was still made of virgin fibres from newly harvested trees and some of the biggest brand and own-label tissue suppliers would have to “spend billions of pounds on operational transformation” to abide by the new laws.
The EU’s new laws mean that all companies trading things like wood, coffee, soy and cocoa will have to follow strict processes to trade with the bloc, and products linked to deforestation will be banned from import and export with the EU.

Australia being in Eurovision, when New Zealand hasn’t been invited, gives me the same vibes and I don’t like it.”He added: “New Zealanders grow up with a sense of social justice being very important and Australia being invited to Eurovision without New Zealand is like inviting someone to your wedding but not giving them a plus one!“Everyone loves New Zealand and finds us cute and non-threatening and that makes us a sure thing for doing well in the public vote.

Michaela Zee editor Opportunity Network honoree Trevor Noah shared a piece of business advice at the 16th annual Night of Opportunity Gala on Wednesday night. “Sometimes you don’t realize that you’re taking an opportunity away because you don’t see yourself in that other person,” Noah told the fundraiser’s dining hall. “My honest advice to you would be just to see yourself beyond yourself. Deconstruct yourself to your core parts — what makes you who you are — and then find people like that because they will walk the path that you did.” “They won’t be your gender, they won’t be your race, they won’t be your nationality,” he continued. “But you will find the bald white man in every Black young woman.”
