Friends of the Earth Canada is releasing a new poll on flushable wipes. With municipal expenditures to clean up wipes estimated in the past at $230 million rising now to $1 billion, the topic is clearly important to Canadians. Oracle Poll Research conducted the 2,000-person national poll on behalf of Friends of the Earth Canada in May.
The poll findings are good news for wastewater professionals with 91% indicating they trust scientists or wastewater engineers to provide them with credible information about whether it is safe or not to flush products labeled as “flushable” down their toilet.
