Scientists are trying to create renewable electricity through a two-step process with a financial impact similar to a residential solar power installation. From overflowing municipal landfills to dependency on fossil fuels, this experiment can solve some major problems. Waste toilet paper is quite apt a name for waste but not many people know about its internal properties.

Renewable electricity can be generated by using a waste toilet paper. Scientists say that it is possible to do this through a two-stage process and it will cost the same amount of solar energy panels installed in residential buildings. 

If this process is adopted, then the problem of excessive flooding of municipal waste collection areas and the problem of dependence on fossil fuels can be solved. Junk toilet paper is often not considered as a work. Although it is a better source of carbon and with drought, it contains 70 to 80 percent of cellulose.

Every year, on average, 10 to 14 kilograms of toilet paper is extracted by each person in Western Europe. The quantity of this junk deposited in the drains is marginal but it is an important part of the municipal waste. According to researchers at the University of Amsterdam, the use of junk toilet paper for generating electricity is "the best way to recycle the junk"
