Dutch open first bike path made from toilet paper

https://www.hollandtradeandinvest.com/latest/news/2016/september/23/dutch-open-first-bike-path-made-from-toilet-paper

O.K. everyone, time for a few creative responses .... name that road .....

.... the world’s first bike path made from recycled toilet paper.

The bike path runs from Friesian provincial capital Leeuwarden to the town of Stiens. A consortium of local authorities and construction companies (Wetterskip Fryslân (Friesland’s water company), Province of Friesland, Stowa, Jansma & Roelofs, Esha Infra Solutions and KNN Cellulose joined forces to use the fibres from paper to make asphalt.
Waste water

Every year, 180,000 tons of toilet paper is flushed down the loo. On average a ton of asphalt requires 3 kilos of fibre, the industry needs around 10 to 15 thousand tons a year. ....

This is hilarious, but good for them for reclaiming the stuff and finding a use for it.

I hope it doesn't STANK in hot weather, though!!!!
