The Environmental Impact Of “Flushable” Wipes
Many products marketed as "flushable" wipes may seem convenient, but their impact on plumbing and the environment is far from harmless. Despite their claims, these wipes often don't disintegrate quickly or completely, posing significant problems both for sewage systems and the planet.
Clogging Sewer Systems
Unlike toilet paper, which disintegrates quickly in water, many wipes are made from synthetic materials that don't break down easily. This can lead to blockages in household pipes, municipal sewer systems, and even septic tanks. These blockages contribute to forming "fatbergs" — massive, congealed clumps of waste and wipes that cause costly damage to wastewater treatment systems.
Plastic Pollution
Many so-called “flushable” wipes contain non-biodegradable synthetic fibers that, rather than disintegrating, persist in the environment. When these wipes enter water systems, they add to the global plastic pollution crisis, contributing to the millions of tons of plastic waste that threaten marine life.
Slow Decomposition
Even if some wipes claim to be biodegradable, they can take years to break down. During this time, they can cause environmental harm and strain on sewage systems. This slow degradation makes these wipes environmentally unsustainable.
While flushable wipes may offer convenience, their long-term impact on plumbing systems and the environment is severe. Their slow decomposition, synthetic fibers, and contribution to plastic pollution underscore the need for more sustainable alternatives that truly break down and protect our planet.
Flushable Wipes: Not Always What They Seem
“Flushable” wipes have soared in popularity as they promise the ultimate trifecta: convenience, hygiene, and a soothing experience that leaves you feeling fresh. However, the definition of "flushable" by many companies has been questionable.
Generally, wipes that claim to be flushable offer the allure of hassle-free disposal: one flush, and it’s out of sight, out of mind. The reality is these wipes may hang around longer than we know, clogging up pipes and straining our sewer systems and the environment. Wet wipes are not always disposable, and that can include the “flushable” kind. They’re typically created with synthetic plastic fibers that end up in our waterways, which is bad news for the environment.
However, Fresh Peaches lives up to the true definition of flushability. One drop of our innovative gel solution is all it takes to transform ordinary toilet paper into a flushable wipe that’s 100% safe for your plumbing, septic systems, and the planet. At Fresh Peaches, it’s not just about being kinder to your body; we’re dedicated to saving the planet, one flush at a time. By reinventing what it means to be flushable, we're putting the hygiene, comfort, and convenience of wet wipes in your hands, without the environmental baggage. Enriched with witch hazel, vitamin B5, and green tea extract, our game-changing formulation offers relief and restoration with every wipe.
Convenience and hygiene don’t have to be at odds with the well-being of our planet. With our cheeky solution, you can enjoy the soothing and softness of a quality wet wipe, without worrying about the after-effects on our sewage system and the environment.
