Michigan Bans Marketing 'Flushable' Wipes
Michigan has enacted laws to address the issue of flushable wipes causing significant problems in sewage systems and treatment plants. The legislation requires wipe manufacturers to label products with 'Do Not Flush' warnings to prevent clogs, costly cleanups, and damage to infrastructure. These wipes, despite being labeled as flushable, do not break down and lead to blockages, prompting Michigan to take a proactive stance. The law aims to save millions in repair costs and protect both public and private sewage systems from the damaging effects of these wipes. Officials emphasize the importance of accurate labeling to raise awareness about the negative impact of flushable wipes on wastewater systems and septic tanks.
