Wet wipes are used every day by millions of people around the world and it seems that for every need there is a packet of wet wipes. For some, using wet wipes are a necessity to keep in your handbag — especially those with babies or young children — but how many people know the impact of the simple wet wipe?
Wet wipes have become products that are heavily relied on by many people because of the little effort required with using a pre-moistened product to clean hands and faces. Make-up wipes, toilet wipes, deodorising wipes and baby wipes are all having a massive impact on the environment, with sea life mistaking them for food and millions of pounds worth of blockages collecting in our sewer systems.
