Wet Wipes Changing the Shape of Riverbeds

As Above So Below
Wet wipes flushed down the toilet change the shape of riverbeds

  • More than half a million wipes were found on the bank of the river Thames
  • Wet wipes do not break down after being flushed away and form 'fatbergs'
  • Fatbergs have been reported in the sewers of major cities across the globe
  • These non-biodegradable masses cause 93 per cent of all drain blockages

Fatbergs, like this one pictured above in London from 2017, weighed 130-tonnes and blocked an entire sewer. Wet wipes, condoms, sanitary products and earbuds do not biodegrade when they are flushed down the toilet.

This 15-tonne fatberg from 2013 pictured above was found in London. Wet wipes bunch together to form huge lumps which cost millions to remove and are hazardous to wildlife and humans.
