Albaad Deutschland GmbH, the market leader for moist toilet paper in continental Europe, is using the International Toilet Paper Day on August 26 to raise awareness and make an appeal: "The toilet is not a waste bin", says Albaad Managing Director Wolfgang Tenbusch. At the same time, the company wants to dispel half-truths and myths surrounding its core product: "Moist toilet paper is not to blame for clogging up the sewerage system."
