The toilet paper parent roll serves as the foundation for the manufacturing process. It is a large spool of paper that is used to create individual rolls of toilet paper. With production ramping up to meet demand, manufacturers are struggling to secure enough parent rolls to keep their factories running at full capacity.

One of the main challenges facing manufacturers is the scarcity of raw materials. The toilet paper parent roll is made from wood pulp, which is in high demand due to its use in various other industries such as packaging and construction. As a result, suppliers are struggling to keep up with demand, leaving manufacturers without enough parent rolls to produce the toilet paper needed to meet consumer demand.

Another issue facing manufacturers is transportation. With the pandemic causing disruptions to global supply chains, shipping and logistics have become more challenging. This has led to delays in the delivery of parent rolls, further exacerbating the shortage.

In response to the shortages, some manufacturers have started to explore alternative raw materials, such as bamboo, to create toilet paper parent rolls. However, this transition takes time and investment, and it may not be a viable solution for all manufacturers.
