Wipes products are facing increasing pressure from consumers and governments over issues with flushing them down toilets. Recent lawsuits have sought millions in damages from damage to plumbing and sewer systems caused by wipes that do not fully break down. Developing a wipe that breaks apart easily in water while maintaining strength has been a technical challenge. A company has made a breakthrough with a patent-pending technique using natural fibers to create a wipe that maintains integrity for use but disperses like toilet paper when flushed, avoiding plumbing problems. Testing by a sewage authority executive found it was the only product besides toilet paper that fully breaks apart during flushing.

1. Legal Pitfalls Associated with Flushable & Baby Wipes
We Have the Solution.
Wipes products are under mounting consumer and
government pressure over the issue of flushability.
Over the past few years there has been a sharp increase in claims
of flushable and baby wipes causing significant damage to
household plumbing and public wastewater systems.
Recently, this increased pressure has culminated in the filing of
personal and class action lawsuits. One such suit is seeking $5
million in damages.
The solution seems simple, design a wipe that breaks apart more
easily in water. The challenge is achieving this while maintaining
the wipes functional integrity- a significant technical hurdle.
Early In 2014, Haso made a breakthrough, solving the problem
with RAPID DISSOLVE TECHNOLOGYTM
.
Through a patent pending technique utilizing 100% natural fiber,
we succeeded in developing a wipe that maintains strength
and softness during consumer use, yet disperses like toilet
paper when flushed!
All I can say is
WOW!!!
Your product blows away
all other flushable substrates
on the market and performs better
than toilet paper (in dispersibility). The
wastewater industry is excited by the
results. It is the only product other
than toilet paper that breaks apart
during the toilet flush.
