Suez Canal crisis threatens global toilet roll shortage as shipping route still blocked

A megaship blocking the Suez Canal may cause a new toilet paper crisis, it is claimed.

It comes just a year after UK supermarket shelves were stripped of toilet roll in a frenzy of panic buying just before the first lockdown.

Huge queues of ships waiting for the Suez Canal to be unblocked could now result in a new worldwide shortage of toilet paper, according wood pulp firm Suzano SA.
