All of our flushable wipes pass each of the seven tests set forth in the Guidelines for Assessing the Flushability of Disposable Nonwoven Products (GD4), which are widely used through North America and Europe to assess flushability and to ensure that wipes are safe for sewer and septic systems. We take it very seriously.
Our wipes* are 100% biodegradable, plant-based and made to break down when flushed. It’s unfortunate that all flushable wipes are considered equal, and that they get such a bad rap! Only 1-2% of what has been found in sewer buildup from 4 separate forensic studies (across multiple cities/countries) has been flushable wipes. The real problems are other items that don’t break down, including feminine hygiene products, baby wipes and all kinds of wipes that aren’t biodegradable, etc.
Like we mentioned, our wipes are 100% biodegradable, plant-based, made from wood pulp and designed to break down. Of course, we do still recommend only flushing one wipe at a time, out of an abundance of caution. And if in doubt, throw it out!
