    Can someone point to a test so people know these are actually flushable?

    • PlasticSpaceman on 30/11/2015 - 17:38
      +15

      People flush their mobiles, so I have no doubt technically you can flush these down the toilet. The issue is more do they break down quickly like toilet paper….

        Basically the only thing flushable that you would want to wipe your butt on is toilet paper

      My wife works for Sydney Water, they are told that the system can't cope with any sort of flushable wipe.

      They recently sent out a letter to all their customers asking them not to use them!

    By "truly flushable" and "dispersible" do you mean they disintegrate quickly? I know you also say they are biodegradable but if it takes days or even weeks before they break down I can imagine they could cause blockages as noted here: https://www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-persona…

  • OZB Al on 30/11/2015 - 17:40

    Their video shows that it takes ten minutes of direct agitation for the wipes to break down, this may be better than competitors but still means they will clog your pipes.

          I love Australia's ever more polluted-growing environment. I won't RELAX about it. All the relaxed morons out there are either destroying it, or watching others do it as they stand by, RELAXING. I campaigned quite hard for a recycling deposit on cans and bottle for NSW, writing letters, hosting functions at my restaurant for activists around it, and the list goes on. Seeing this kind of crap WIPING the hard work of others, such as myself, makes me unRELAXED. No apologies for that my man/woman.

      • altomic on 30/11/2015 - 19:48
        +5

        They are flushable. There's no issue with that. The problem is -what happens to them after they are flushed. They basically clog up sewer pipes.

  • nanonoise on 30/11/2015 - 18:49

    I don't think it will be too long before there is some legislation or council ordinances banning their use. I couldn't imagine too many council/water authorities are going to put up with this shit for too much longer.

    I wonder how you would go trying to pass the cost of unclogging a drain onto Kleenex/Other Manufacturers?

    • Debravity on 30/11/2015 - 19:01

      Ummmm, let me see. Uh, no, no I don't think that can happen. Um, like, somebody told me that there AREN'T any lobbyists available to DO GOOD SHIT FOR THE 99%, or the environment. Nup, you're gonna be waiting a long time for that kind of REVERSAL to suddenly occur. (Snark at big, greedy corporations, not your good self) ;)

      • nanonoise on 30/11/2015 - 19:04

        Well, shiiit. Crapped all over my idea….At a council level I could see some movement. I know my local council (regional) looks after their own sewerage system and spend a lot of time unclogging the crap. If there was some measurable damage I reckon they might be interested in protecting rate payer interests.

          @Level380: That's a bizarre way of trying to prove that these flushables are ok to use. let's just ignore every issue out there just because we use plastic containers for food.

        • JimmyF on 01/12/2015 - 14:14

          @BlazinPast: Its not bizarre, Your point was these wipes are a waste of resources, yet fast food isn't. You seem to be ignoring that paper/plastic containers are wasteful as well, that our tips are full of single use items and the sea is full of waste plastic floating around. hint https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch

          I personally think BOTH product groups are very wasteful and a MEGA waste of resources.
