Omaha-based nonprofit Outlook Nebraska, the state’s sole toilet paper manufacturer, is making waves as one of two finalists in the NE Manufacturing Alliance’s “Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska” contest. As the largest employer of blind and visually impaired individuals in a seven-state region, the nonprofit produces 25 miles of paper per minute, converting over 1.6 million pounds of 100% recycled fiber each month. – Darcie Dingman Willie
