Are SCOTT™ Flushable Wipes made from recycled materials? Are they biodegradable?
As an employee of a municipal wastewater treatment plant I can say with some authority that although the wipes may be considered biodegradable, they do not degrade fast enough to stop them from clogging pipes and pumps.. Wipes are a constant source of clogging in the sewer lines and pump stations, as well as the pumps in the plant themselves. You are paying extra for the convenience of "flushable" wipes and you are paying again in the costs of manpower overtime, equipment failure and rate increases from your local sewer authority.
