Are Cottonelle Fresh Care™ Flushable Moist Wipes safe for my sewer/septic system? What makes them flushable?
Yes. Kimberly-Clark (K-C) and other participating member manufacturers worked with industry groups, International Nonwovens & Disposables Association (INDA) and European Disposables and Nonwovens Association (EDANA), to define guidelines to help manufacturers determine if nonwoven consumer products are flushable. These INDA/EDANA flushability guidelines were published in June 2008. The guidelines have multiple tests which evaluate in-home flushability and all methods of disposal (i.e. sewer and septic systems) to ensure products move through a properly maintained and designed home or system.

According to the guidelines, a product is flushable if it 1) clears toilets and properly maintained drainage pipe systems under expected product usage conditions, 2) is compatible with existing wastewater conveyance, treatment, reuse and disposal systems; and 3) becomes unrecognizable in a reasonable period of time and is safe in the natural receiving environments. More than twenty test methods have been outlined in the guidelines to help manufacturers determine if a product is flushable. All K-C Flushable Moist Wipes comply with the guidelines.
