Unflushables
Health for water and water takes care of you
We do this together, but it doesn't happen by itself. Because products like sanitary pads, wet wipes, condoms and frying fat too often end up in the sewer, where they cause great harm.
That is why we are launching the Unflushables: giant, eye-catching inflatable versions of waste that does not belong in the sewer. With these cheerful eye-catchers, we make visible what is being flushed unjustly.
Don't flush the Unflushables!
Sanitary pads and tampons
Do you throw your sanitary napkin or tampon nice noncha in the toilet? Rather not. That's what the trash can is for.
Oil and grease
After some delicious brown fruit bowls, that frying grease needs to be replaced again. Don't flush this Unflushable, but take it away:
- Of course, let the frying fat cool first.
- Pour it into the old container or another empty bottle.
- Bring the bottle to a drop-off point near you.
Condoms
On a serious note: flushing your condom? That's a big no. Just throw it in the trash.
Moist wipes
"But the package says you can flush them down the toilet .."
Moist wipes are soluble, but this process takes too long. Those wipes are so fast from your toilet at the sewage treatment plant that they arrive in one piece. And thus cause blockages.
