States pass ‘Do Not Flush’ legislation and implement requirements for disposable wet wipes

October 04, 2022

California, Washington, Oregon, and Illinois all passed a similar bill requiring that manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers, and retailers of such products adhere to the new guidelines. Currently, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island are all under review for the same legislation.

The Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA) played a crucial role in developing the ‘Do Not Flush’ logo that is now required by the aforementioned states.

How can Sagentia Regulatory help you?

For all FIFRA regulated products, registrants must submit labels compliant with the new legislative requirements to the US EPA by January 1, 2023, for CA and July 1, 2023, for OR/IL prior to approval of the respective state’s pesticide regulation departments. At this time, only Washington state has implemented a hard deadline requiring (July 1, 2023) ‘Do Not Flush’ language on product labels.
