SYDNEY: An Australian entrepreneur has brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "waste paper" with an ingenious green scheme to make luxury stationery from wombat dung.
Darren Simpson, a self-confessed "poo expert," has big plans for the square-shaped fecal deposits of a wombat named Nugget.
"It's not your normal poo. It's not round or long - it's actually little bricks and it's very, very fibrous," Simpson said. "Basically what you can see through it is plant matter. So they're a good little pulper."
