WIPPES Act

Bill 119 HR 2269, also known as the "Do Not Flush" labeling bill, aims to address the issue of improper disposal of certain products that can cause damage to sewage systems and the environment. The bill would require certain products, such as wipes, feminine hygiene products, and other non-biodegradable items, to be labeled with a "Do Not Flush" warning.

The purpose of this labeling requirement is to educate consumers about the proper disposal of these products and to prevent them from being flushed down toilets, where they can clog pipes and sewage systems. This can lead to costly repairs and environmental damage, as these products do not break down easily and can contribute to pollution in waterways.

By requiring manufacturers to include this warning on their products, the bill aims to promote responsible disposal practices and reduce the negative impact of these items on infrastructure and the environment. It also seeks to raise awareness among consumers about the importance of proper waste management. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2269 is a proactive measure to address a growing problem of improper disposal of certain products and to protect our sewage systems and environment from unnecessary harm.
