Campaign for proper use of wet wipes

The campaign aims to stress that wet wipes are non-biodegradable, even though this is indicated on the packaging, and take years to break down. The accumulation of their fibres causes faults, blockages and breakages in the pipes, not to mention considerable damage to pumps and wastewater treatment plants. This problem represents a cost for customers, prevents the service from functioning properly, and causes great damage to the city's environment. Like wipes, this problem is also caused by gloves and masks.
