Belovo (Bulgarian Белово) is a town in Southern Bulgaria. It is located in Pazardzhik oblast, on the Maritsa river and at the eastern end of the Thracian Plain. It is sometimes know as the toilet paper capital of Bulgaria because of the Belovo paper mill that produces toilet paper and other disposable paper products. There are many stalls along the road selling toilet paper produced by the mill.
