Panda poop to be made into toilet paper

The China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan province will provide the droppings and leftover food - mainly bamboo - of its pandas to a papermaking company to make toilet paper and other paper products.

Under an agreement signed on Saturday, the center will provide droppings and excess bamboo free from its three bases - in the Wolong National Nature Reserve and two Sichuan cities, Dujiangyan and Ya'an - to Sichuan Qianwei Fengsheng Paper Co.

The center provides about 25 kilograms of bamboo to each adult panda every day. Of that, the bear will eat about 11 kilograms - the most delicious parts. The rest is chewed up during the process.
