China uses the most toilet paper annually, consuming over 4 billion miles each year. However, when considering individual lifetime usage, Portugal ranks highest.
While China's overall consumption is the largest due to its vast population, individual usage patterns paint a different picture. This distinction highlights the importance of considering both total consumption and per capita usage when analyzing toilet paper consumption statistics.
Here's a breakdown:
- China: Highest total consumption.
- Portugal: Highest per capita lifetime usage (643.36 miles).
