Wet wipes have become commonplace in Australian homes and workplaces, especially as the COVID pandemic brought greater attention to sanitary practices. Whether we’re sterilising our desk spaces, removing make-up, or changing a nappy, wet wipes are ubiquitous because of their convenience.
However, as many of us have come to learn, just because something is easy doesn’t mean it’s eco-friendly. Flushing wet wipes down the toilet is a major cause of sewer blockages and can be hazardous to our waterways. The ABC has previously reported that the cost of removing wet wipes from sewer systems reaches millions of dollars. (Google ‘wipe fatberg’ if you dare!)
To make matters worse, single-use wet wipes are not biodegradable. Even brands that claim their wipes are safe to flush are often not! Wet wipes that end up in landfills may take up to 100 years to break down, causing harm to natural flora and fauna in the meantime. Fortunately, there are alternatives including our brand new reusable cloth wipes!
