Abstract

This report outlines an approach and provides guidance on test methods that can be used to assess the flushability of consumer products. In this peer review project, WERF evaluated Procter & Gamble’s overall approach, methodologies, and quality assurance procedures. Revised protocols and improved flushability standards will aid the wastewater industry by helping to ensure flushables will break down as they move through treatment systems. Soft cover. 125 pp.

Originally funded as WERF project 02-CTS-7P.
