A new EU ban has once again brought in fears of a toilet roll shortage. The European Union plans to introduce a ban on products linked to deforestation and the boss of a toilet paper company has warned the new rule could have a 'gigantic effect' on the toilet paper industry.
EU laws will require all companies trading commodities such as wood, coffee, soy and cocoa to follow strict processes to trade with the block. This will include a ban on importing and exporting products linked to deforestation, reports The Mirror.
Cheeky Panda owner Chris Forbes said to The Grocer: "There will definitely be a squeeze on availability and we can expect the price of recycled tissue to rise as demand for alternatives increases."
