注意了！你用的纸巾可能是熊猫便便做的

Just another example of how one panda’s poop is another man’s profit. 
Giant panda reserves in Southwest China said they are cooperating with a paper company to process their piles of fiber-filled panda feces into napkins, tissues and toilet paper.
Sichuan Qianwei Fengsheng Paper Co has made deals with three giant panda bases in Sichuan Province to collect their waste on a weekly basis to mass produce its “panda poo” product line.
The pandas pass more than 10 kilograms of excrement a day. Taking take care of it is rather time-consuming. By digesting the bamboo’s sugars and nutrients, pandas are basically extracting their fibers free of charge. Once collected, the feces and other waste is washed, steamed and further processed to ensure it meets safety standards.
The tissues, marketed as “panda poo” tissues, sell for 43 yuan a box. This deal is long in the making. For years, Sichuan panda bases have long sought paper factories to help reduce their loads of panda poop. Back in 2007 that the base was already in talks with several factories.
The idea came from paper from elephant dung while a worker is on a trip to Thailand. The country’s Chiang Mai Zoo also sells paper made from the poop produced by its two pandas.
