Does the toilet paper just get flushed into the river? or?
In: 0
Toilet paper is designed so that it dissolves quickly in water, unlike many other kinds of paper. This is why they don’t recommend flushing other paper products like paper towels or Kleenex down the toilet, they can clog up pipes. The toilet paper dissolves into wood pulp, which can easily move along with the other waste water through pipes and to the waste processing plant. The pulp will be broken down by micro-organisms into nutrients which re-enter the food chain.
