While it&#8217;s true that some wipes are made from materials that are technically biodegradable, the process of breaking down in a sewer system is much different than breaking down in a compost pile.<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"19:1-22:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:287\"><strong>Not Designed for Sewers:<\/strong> <span class=\"citation-1 recitation citation-end-1\">Sewer systems are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper, which are specifically formulated to break down quickly in water.<\/span> Flushable wipes, on the other hand, are often made with synthetic materials that are much slower to decompose.<span class=\"button-container hide-from-message-actions ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>\n<div class=\"container ng-tns-c3448888904-69 hide\">\n<div
