Unlike so many products that are shipped in from overseas markets, paper products are made mainly at domestic factories. In the case of paper goods, including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, tissues, diapers, “about two-thirds of that is domestic production. Only about 5% is Chinese import.”“It does seem the nation’s vital supplies of toilet paper are safe,” Terrazas says. People aren’t using more toilet paper than normal, just filling their closets up with it, Jeff Anderson, president of Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Precision Paper Converters, told The New York Times.
