About the Standards

In 2022, Standards Australia published a new voluntary standard, AS/NZS 5328, Flushable Products.

The standard defines criteria for the ANZ market for what material can be flushed down the toilet and, therefore, what products can be classified 'flushable'.

We are pleased to report Silk Flushable Wipes ALREADY meets the new NZ5328 standards.
