Topic: Flushables

Presenter: Robert Haller, Executive Director of the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association (CWWA), Operators Without Borders (OWB)

Overview: What is truly flushable? What does it mean if you call something flushable? Who gets to decide if it is or it isn’t?

Meanwhile the impact of these products cause billions of dollars of damages to wastewater systems, threaten the environment and put workers at risk.

Robert will provide a brief history of the efforts to date and speak to recent developments and next steps
