As a pioneer in flushable products, Suominen developed its Hydraspun Dispersible substrate material to create a wipe product which could be safely flushed. Kyra Dorsey, PhD, Product Manager notes that “Since the late 1990’s, when Hydraspun Dispersible products were invented, improved dispersibility of flushable wipes has been very high on Suominen’s innovation agenda.

INDA, along with our partner association EDANA, has produced a Code of Practice for the proper labeling of wipes products. For manufacturers wanting to label a product as “flushable”, the product should be evaluated via the “Guidance Document for assessing the Flushability of Nonwoven Consumer Products” and pass all seven tests.”
