Spain aims to ban flushing of wet wipes, with manufacturers paying for cleanup
Government’s draft legislation also includes ban on releasing disposable party balloons into the environment

Yep. Make it the manufacturers' problem. They only care when it hits their wallet. Even if they pass on the costs, it'll make the wipes that actually dissolve properly cheaper and these are exempt.
How do you make a wet wipe dissolve when its wet without dissolving when its wet
No clue, but I have those here.
Tried it too. Left it in water and poof, disssolves after a while. (several minutes)
Must be different kind of water they come in would be my guess
I understand it's "wet" from some alcohol/aldehydes and not from water.
I'm looking on a package of wet wipes right now and it says "99% water" on them
Maybe my understanding is wrong, and I don't use wet wipes that often, but the ones I have I bought like a year ago 60% ethanol v/v.
I see, maybe there are different types then. Mine are for an actual baby.
Ok, so I checked a superstore near me, and my updated understanding is
So baby wipes being meant to clean skin and be "gentle", it makes sense that they are water based.
Who is out there wiping their ass with %100 ethanol?
Because ethanol forms an azeotrope with water, 100% ethanol is also considerably more expensive than ~95%
They're definitely not gonna use 100% ethanol haha
Would at least leave it super clean lmao
Chip clean room workers stealing stuff from the job rather than buy tp?
I prefer acetone and a map-gas torch.
Right? I use Goo B Gone
Gets it fucking clean, I'll tell you that.
You light the ethanol and it burns off all the shit.
someone with 6inch thick skin.
They are different kind of wet, obviously
