Remember the last time you looked under your office desk and squirmed! A waste paper basket full of it. And the image of a tree being cut made you feel guilty! A Japanese company -Oriental, has made a machine called White Goat. Funny, unusual for a machine name, yes. It does something incredible though. Pop in about 40 sheets of paper, and wait for 30 minutes. What comes out is a nice toilet roll for your efforts.

While you waited, the machine has shredded the paper, after which the paper gets dissolved in water, thinned out, dried and wound into toilet rolls. Isn’t that great!

The company says it costs 10 Yen ($0.11) for a roll to get processed.

Regular usage of this machine can save 60 cedar trees annually. If your office wishes to sport that Eco Tag with aplomb, such a machine could help a great deal. It may not matter much then, that the machine weighs 600 kilos and is 1.8 metres tall. On roll-out, the machine will have a $ 100,000 price tag this summer. There’s no word on what happens to the ink on papers though.
