As our wipes are very unique, they offer different disposal options compared to normal ‘plastic’ wipes. As they are plastic-free and can biodegrade in 28 days, they can be safely put in the home compost bin or even in the food bin, where they will readily biodegrade. If they are put in a normal rubbish bin, which will eventually end up in landfill or incinerated, they will not be in an environment where they can naturally biodegrade, however, we appreciate that this is sometimes the only available option. Unless wipes are truly flushable (by water authority standards) and used to clean up pee or poo, the advice is not to flush them down the loo as they can block drains and sewers and often end up being washed into the oceans. Please note that ‘Biodegradable’ does not mean ‘Flushable’ they are very different. Biodegradable means it breaks down in the right conditions in the presence of certain microorganisms, whereas flushable means that it breaks down and disperses readily and quickly in water. A further added advantage of our wipes is that as they return to paper when dry, they can actually also be put in the recycling bin – but probably not advised if they are covered in poo!!!
