일회용 물티슈가 녹는 데 걸리는 시간

Most disposable wipes do not really dissolve in water like toilet paper does. They are made to be strong!

Why?

• Many wipes contain 플라스틱 fibers.
• Plastic does not break down easily.

So, how long do they last?

• It can take 100 years or even longer for a single wipe to fully break down!
• They just slowly break into smaller and smaller 플라스틱 bits over this long time.

Toilet paper breaks apart in just a few minutes when flushed. Wipes stick around and can cause clogs in pipes. Always put used wipes in the trash.
