wetWipes

A lot of people make a big deal about the less biodegradable wet wipes (people carry with them, and use instead of toilet paper) and disinfecting towelettes (used for killing germs on hard countertops and metal/plastic/wood/tile surfaces) but it’s interesting to see that 90% of the mass is fat and or derivatives of fat as when converted to harded soap precipitates.

There’s a lot of junk people flush, that aren’t intended to pass down drains and sit in pipes or receive sewage processing. Are wet wipes and disposable germ cleansing antiseptic towels and products like daipers and condoms as big a deal as people make them out to be?
