CAWASA Webinar 2021 Series No 21 Flushables by Robert Haller
CAWASA Webinar 2021 Series No 21
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? This has been a debate for over 10 years as more and more products are marketed as flushable. Meanwhile the impact of these products cause billions of dollars of damages to wastewater systems, threaten the environment and put workers at risk. Wastewater associations around the world have been trying to work with the industry to create a definition with a product standard we can all agree to…and we may be very close to a breakthrough. Robert will provide a brief history of the efforts to date and speak to recent developments and next steps
