This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about people flushing wet wipes down the toilet, but we're not sure if you want the Government to require all wet wipes to be biodegradable, and also run a campaign calling for them not to be flushed down the toilet, or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
