The most-viewed news on our site in June
July 1, 2024
By: Tara Olivo
Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
In June, the most-viewed story on Nonwovens-Industry.com was news that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environments Safety (WIPPES) Act (H.R. 2964), creating national standards for “Do Not Flush” labeling for non-flushable wipes. The legislation passed out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in December 2023 and has cleared the House floor in a bipartisan vote. The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate Science, Commerce, and Energy Committee.
This bipartisan legislation is intended to address the growing problem of sewer system clogs caused by improper disposal of consumer wipes that are not intended to be disposed of in toilets. This federal solution is the result of a years-long industry collaboration with wastewater operators which has resulted in the passage of similar legislation in seven states. The WIPPES Act will create a national standard based on existing state laws to ensure non-flushable wipes will carry prominent “Do Not Flush” labeling on packaging.
Meanwhile, Drylock Technologies announced it will build its 11th plant worldwide and its third in Brazil in Capivari, São Paulo. The first phase of the construction should be complete in 2026. The new 30,000-square-meter manufacturing plant will house new high-tech machines and a distribution center on a 200,000-square-meter site strategically located near some of the state’s main highways. The plant will be twice as big as the other plant in Capivari and will have the potential to be the second largest facility in the group, second only to the flagship site in the Czech Republic.
Here are the top 10 most-viewed news items on Nonwovens-Industry.com for the month of June.
