The advertising authorities should have knocked that nonsense on the head years ago. I was explaining it to someone the other week and they were surprised to find out that "flushable" wipes aren't.
It's a perfect example of how lobbying and misinformation can be so difficult to overcome. The impact of 'flushable' wipes is known and significant yet rules aren't put in place to stop it. I wonder why....
