WASHINGTON, DC ─ INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, has welcomed passing of the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environments Safety (WIPPES) Act by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The WIPPES Act, which creates national standards for “Do Not Flush” labelling for non-flushable wipes, passed out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in December of 2023, and has now cleared the House floor in a bipartisan vote. The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate Science, Commerce, and Energy Committee.
