Call to ban “flushable” wet wipes

We’re leading calls to ban the word “flushable” on wet wipes, which are clogging up the nation’s toilets, drains and sewers. A report has been sent to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) – backed by environmental groups City to Sea, Surfers Against Sewage, Marine Conservation Society and Litter Free Coast and Sea – which highlights the fact that wet wipes don’t break down like conventional toilet paper after going down the U-bend. As this video shows, the consequences of flushing wet wipes can be highly unpleasant and expensive. We’re called to resolve more than 13,000 blockages annually at a cost of £5 million – and wet wipes were responsible for more than two thirds of those blockages last year. Dealing with the problem has become a full-time job for our operators like Ben, who was called to four blockages in four hours and discovered that all of them were caused by wet wipes.
