Ryerson University’s Flushability Lab at Ryerson Urban Water recently released a report: Defining ‘Flushability’ for Sewer Use. Tests evaluated 101 single-use products, of which 23 were labeled as ‘flushable’ by the manufacturer.
Results showed that not one single wipe was able to fall apart or disperse safely through the sewer system test. This can negatively impact household plumbing, municipal sewage infrastructure, and consequently, the environment.
