For years, these companies have marketing them as “flushable” which implies they break down like toilet tissue. This is the fraud that many single-use disposable products have perpetrated by hiding their environmental harm through gaslighting and lying about recyclability claims, They are the ones who put the idea out there about flushing woven plastic with chemicals into our sanitary system. So they should start paying for these costs then.
