      it is more about the disgrace it makes water treatment, it clogs the treatment system, making the costs of treating the water much higher

      Toilet paper also requires specific processing of the waste water. It’s normally screened off and sent to landfill when it reaches the treatment plant, but I imagine many countries wouldn’t have this infrastructure.

        In the USA anyway toilet paper is legally required to dissolve in water within a certain time frame. Maybe this is not the case in other countries

            Are you in USA?

            Flushable wipes are a lie, but government employees have told me that toilet paper dissolves.
