“We welcome the Code of Practice and use of the Do Not Flush logo for the non-flushable products that are causing problems for utilities. Prominent use of the Do Not Flush logo on package labels represents a viable path forward for educating consumers and reducing the amount on non-flushable items in the wastewater system,” says Director of Sustainability at APWA, Julia Anastasio.

“We are excited to see more brand owners using the Do Not Flush logo, with some even using the logo on the top of packaging where it is easily seen by consumers each time they use the product.”

“We welcome the support of NACWA, WEF, and APWA and look forward to continuing our dialogue as we tackle this problem together. We all support good product stewardship and doing what’s right for the environment.

"That includes making sure that products that claim to be flushable will not harm the sewer system, and educating consumers on proper disposal by ensuring that disposable products not designed to be flushed are properly labeled with the Do Not Flush logo,” adds President INDA, Dave Rousse.
