In a move to modernize and regulate public restroom facilities, certain regions in China have introduced a novel system where toilet paper dispensers are equipped with facial recognition technology. This system requires individuals to scan their faces to access a predetermined amount of toilet paper, aiming to prevent waste and misuse.

Those who do not wish to use the facial recognition feature are advised to carry their own toilet paper. This innovative approach highlights China's ongoing efforts to integrate technology into everyday life, addressing practical issues with digital solutions.
