Focus on Flushability

Flushability is a significant concern for certain types of nonwoven products, particularly those used for personal hygiene and cleaning, such as wet wipes, baby wipes, and personal care wipes. The relevance of flushability for nonwovens lies in its implications for waste management, environmental impact, and the proper functioning of wastewater infrastructure.

We can help your organisation navigate every aspect of the journey towards flushability and work with water companies, governments and manufacturers to ensure maximum environmental benefit.

The David E. James Consultancy supports the Nonwovens Industry code of practice for labelling wet wipes packaging “Communicating Disposal Pathways for Single Use Nonwoven Wet Wipes to Protect Wastewater Systems”.
