Shoppers raised concerns about wipes clogging up pipes
July 20, 2017

Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
According to a report by the News Corp Australia Network, Aldi Australia has decided to pull its plans to sell its own flushable wipes product following concerns by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and shoppers. Green Action flushable bathroom wipes were meant to go on sale in all Aldi stores for a special price of $4.99 starting July 19. News Corp Australia brought up the concerns of shoppers who took to Aldi’s Facebook page to criticize the product, saying that flushable wipes are known for clogging pipes and local council waterways. An Aldi spokesperson told the news outlet that the company was working with the ACCC and apologized for inconvenience to customers. “Aldi Australia is committed to developing products of the highest quality. We are working with the ACCC regarding their concern with the flushable claim on our Green Action Flushable Bathroom Wipes, planned for sale as a Special Buy on 19th July 2017,” an Aldi spokesperson told News Corp Australia. “While there is currently no Australian standard for flushability, this product has been tested to the EDANA and INDA International guidelines, passing flushability and biodegradability tests,” the spokesperson continued. “While our discussions with the ACCC continue, we have decided not to sell this product.”
