Use wet wipes that break down in water
Twipes are flushable and biodegradable wet wipes, made from wood pulp. They can break down in water in just 3 hours, are dermatologically tested and safe for babies.
Wet wipes made up more than 90% of the material causing sewer blockages that Water UK investigated in 2017.
Benefits
- Convenient
- Reduces plastic waste in sewage systems, rivers and the ocean
- Can be flushed through toilet systems after use without causing blockages
Challenges
- Does not tackle level of use of disposable products
Making a difference
With 11 billion used each year and people unwilling to compromise on hygiene and baby care, Twipes looks to get people to change their product instead of habits.
