This scenario might be all too familiar for many of us: you're in the bathroom, in the middle of your daily business on the toilet, and suddenly you realise you're out of toilet paper.

It's not a pleasant experience, to say the least. It can be downright catastrophic! That's why most of us try to keep our bathrooms well-stocked with this essential item at all times; no one wants to run out.

Unfortunately, it looks like we might have to start stocking up even more than usual soon. That's because Sorbent toilet paper – made right here in Australia – is set to get a lot more expensive due to rising gas prices.

Solaris Paper is the company behind Sorbent toilet paper and other products like facial tissues, and they're one of the biggest manufacturers in the country.

According to their Chief Executive Steve Nicholson, their current contract with their gas provider ends at the end of 2022 - and they're not happy with their new contract.

Apparently, the best offer on the table is 290% more expensive than their current rate! Considering how much Australians rely on this product every day, that increase is going to hit us where it hurts most – our wallets!

'Particularly in terms of the viability of our operation. This is an iconic toilet paper you're talking about,' Nicholson said in an interview with Ben Fordham on 2GB. 'We are one of the largest producers in this country of toilet paper and facial tissues.'

'It's a tremendous challenge for us.'

While Nicholson wouldn't specify the exact dollar amount their gas bill would be increasing by, he did say that it would be in the 'many millions'. And with other production costs also on the rise, we'll likely see Sorbent products increase in price in the new year.

'We don't want to pass on these costs but we're going to have to. We can't absorb these costs,' said the executive.

'This is a real crisis looming up.'

Sadly, Sorbent isn't the only company feeling the pinch. Snackbrands Australia – which oversees brands like Cheezels, Kettle, CC's and Thins – revealed that their gas bill has soared from roughly $3 million per year to $9 million. This means we can expect a similar price increase on chips and other snacks in 2023.

Both businesses have operations in the Sydney area represented by Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen, and they have both stated that they would like to have a conversation with him about what is happening.

Key Takeaways

• Solaris Paper revealed that its gas costs will almost triple next year, meaning shoppers will see another price hike on toilet paper.
• Snackbrands Australia has also revealed that its gas bill has soared from roughly $3 million per year to $9 million, meaning consumers could expect a 30c to 50c price increase on its chips in the next year.
• Both companies have operations in Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen's electorate in Sydney and have said they want an opportunity to speak to him about what is going on.

With electricity prices also on the rise, we'll likely see a lot of other products and services increase in price over the next year or so. And that's not good news for any of us!

So, what can you do to prepare for these impending price hikes?

Our best advice is to start stocking up on essentials now while prices are still relatively low. That way, you won't have to worry about running out when things start to get more expensive.

Bear in mind, though, that stocking up is very different from hoarding. Remember the early pandemic, when people bought more toilet paper than they could ever use in their own homes, leaving others without? Make sure you're not following in their footsteps! Bulk panic buying is not necessary or recommended.

I saw this story on Sunrise Monday and thought they are tripling the price because so many people did stock up during the pandemic and most likely their sales are down .

Funny by them letting everyone know that the prices are going to triple will make everyone go out and stock pile

Yes, toilet paper prices have already risen considerably over the last year or so, that using the loo these days is becoming an expensive business!

it is all about greed and BS from the the energy and gas companies using the war in Ukraine excuse.... Here in Australia ALL gas supplies should be for our own us at a reasonable price and NOT the bullshit price they get for selling it over seas.

 

[JedCorella]

This is what happens when you leave your country exposed to outside influences when you sell all your gas reserves to other countries for a fraction of the cost of what the cost is to the Australian consumer. The Australian governments have been selling us up and selling us out for decades. What could possibly go wrong when you sell your farms, your water, and your essential services like the electricity grid to overseas, interests, mainly Chinese.
Climate change is being blamed for all the ills in this world but when you think about it, what damage did all those atomic tests do to our environment? How much fuel is used to transport goods all over the world because it seems that, in Australia, we have to import things like potatoes from Europe.
Things will get a lot worse yet. Have a good look at the charter of the World Economic Forum. Start drilling down and they have us eating nothing else but bugs and fake meat while controlling every aspect of our lives.

Our government pretends that they care but really they don't because they are all crawling up to big business and have their snouts in the trough.

Here we go, another panic buy of loo roll thanks to the media

 

[annscarlett]

The toilet paper going up in price they are just getting on the band wagon like everyone else that is disgusting
People buy toilet paper all the time thousands and thousands of people how can they not make enough money on it to pay their gas bills as I said they Are doing it because they can and getting in this disgusting round about
We all understand farmers and growers putting their prices up because IOF the floods but the rear of the services are just doing it beccause they can

 

[Penny4]

The thing is these Companies are complaining about rising costs, but they don't give a damn about charging more for customers.

 

[Ricci]

Stock up on newspapers folk as I can see us going backwards by about 100 years to when newspaper was commonly used.

We all knew it was wrong when the Govt decided to sell off and privatise all of our country's assets, we knew we would rue the day, well, that day has arrived

If Covid 19 is a hoax then what did those millions of people die of or are you telling me they didn't die? What was it that made so many people so sick that they aren't better yet?

No, it's called renaming the flu so that they can make millions from injecting untested MRNA poison into your system which destroys your immune system for a start not to mention changing your DNA.
What could possibly go wrong? More people have died from the injection than of the "flu".
