Don't flush wetwipes
The UK recently announced a 25 year plan to eradicate avoidable plastic waste which includes single use products like wet wipes, which contain non-biodegradable plastic.
Manufacturers will either have to create plastic-free wipes or people will have to go without them, the BBC reports.
We invited Seven Sharp to Moa Point (one of our wastewater treatment plants) yesterday afternoon, for a closer look at what happens to the wetwipes you flush down the toilet, and to talk about why you should only flush the 3P's - pee, poo and paper [toilet paper].

24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
