Please note you should NEVER flush any baby wipes or similar down the toilet. They should go in the trash if you must use them, but using washable alternatives (if you have a baby for example) if possible is better. Baby wipes contain a lot of plastic. If you flush them they might clog up the toilet, which you might not care about at work. But if it doesn’t clog up the toilet, it gets into the sewer and causes trouble there, trouble your tax money / water bill money goes to fix. If it does go through smoothly it will in the worst case end up in rivers and oceans, floating around for a long time before degrading into microplastics.
Ends up in Rivers & oceans? Are you living in 18th century England?
It goes to a waste treatment facility. Plastics, dead goldfish, drugs, toys are common. Everywhere, people flush all sorts of things besides shit down toilets. It’s a pain, but totally expected.

Cause it always happens.
even if it’s 100% cotton (which I’m not sure it exists) it will cause trouble in the sewer as it won’t disintegrate like TP
I work in a different town, so not my problem
