Ironically, Pampers the most expensive wipes, are one of the few that still aren’t biodegradable. No excuses for them if all(?) supermarket own brands are now.
Well done Boots, but I would have been much happier if they were not allowed to sell them, rather than relying on corporate responsibility, which lets face it isn’t historically that good.
>wet wipes containing plastic
What? I thought they were all paper or cotton. Or do they mean packaging?
I hope you like your dry wipes.
Does this include bum wipes? I don’t feel clean without a wipe with a wet wipe. Do they make non plastic ones of those?
Don’t work too hard, Boots. You’ll hurt yourself at that pace, take it easy.
Should’ve done it years ago. But this is the problem when profits are more important than environment. Only changing when it suits them
plastic in wipes should of been made illegal years ago.
I am in two minds about this. The bigger part of me that obviously thinks we should have done this ages ago is happy. The mum side of me is gutted. Aldi have just changed their baby wipes and they are god awful, I don’t enjoy having to scrape baby poo out from under my nails because they’re so useless.
I think we’re going to have a couple generations of people dying horribly from the amount of plastic we’ve ingested before we really realise how fucked we are.
