Disclosed herein is a cellulosic textile filament made from microfibrillar cellulose fibers and a thickening agent as well as the precursor dope for forming such filaments, nonwoven webs made from such cellulosic textile filaments and the process for forming such filaments and nonwoven webs including such filaments. One of the advantages of these filaments is the eco-sensitive way in which they are made as they utilize a water-based dope that does not require any chemical solvents unlike other processes such as those used to make Lyocell fibers. In addition, the process does not involve any washing or extraction steps and it employs a cellulosic fiber source that is broadly based and renewable.

An apparatus and method for dispensing cored or coreless rolled paper is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing having a dispensing side from which rolled paper products may be dispensed. A doorway enclosed by one or more doors allows the insertion of a rolled paper product through the doorway to the interior of the housing in a simple and efficient manner. One or more roller guides may be mounted on a door to contact the outer circumferential surface of the rolled paper to support the rolled paper within the housing, and to assist in dispensing the rolled paper from the housing. Cored or coreless rolled paper may be dispensed from the dispenser.
