Earlier this month, EDANA, the international association of non-wovens and related industries, announced an updated code of practice for the disposal and labelling of personal care and cleaning wipes. These efforts aim to better educate consumers on which products can and cannot be safely flushed down the toilet. Compared to the earlier version, launched in 2013, this new Code includes new requirements, e.g. moving the "Do Not Flush" (DNF) symbol to the front of packs for wipes most at risk of being mistakenly flushed, requiring that secondary packages have a DNF symbol and that all baby wipes carry the DNF symbol. The code also ups the size and contrast requirements of the logo to make it more readable.
