A shortage in the availability of shipping containers could lead to another toilet paper shortage.
Suzano SA, the biggest producer of wood pulp, used in the production of toilet paper, tells Bloomberg that the global crunch of shipping containers could clog supply lines.
Coronavirus created a shortage of bath tissue at the start of the pandemic as consumers resorted to panic buying and stockpiling.

The company's concern is that a backup in March shipments could spillover to April.
