Don't flush wetwipes

The Team from Wellington Water

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].
