Thinking twice about what you flush away may help you save money, and the environment. Today, Ryerson University released a new report on the first ever test of single-use wipes against rigorous criteria for flushability. The report, entitled Defining "Flushability" for Sewer Use, comes out of Ryerson's Flushability Lab at Ryerson Urban Water, and includes the testing of 101 single-use products, of which 23 being 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, which can negatively impact household plumbing, municipal sewage infrastructure, and consequently, the environment.
