Why choose Biodegradable Wipes?

Choosing Biodegradable Wipes is a great way to cut down on plastic waste and help reduce the number of chemicals that are introduced into our water supply. These wipes are made from renewable resources, usually plant fibers, and contain fewer or no chemical irritants that can find their way into our soil. They can be used as cleaning wipes for kitchen surfaces, bathroom mirrors and other household items. They are also ideal for camping and hiking as they can be used as face, hand or body wipes and are soft and gentle on skin.

The best biodegradable wet wipes are made with a blend of organic cotton and bamboo fibre. They are also free from harsh chemicals and fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. They are thicker and absorbent than conventional wet wipes, and some have a refreshing scent. They can be thrown away in a regular garbage bin, but some brands of these biodegradable wipes are also home compostable and can be added to the compost pile with food scraps and other organic materials.

Many people assume that they can flush biodegradable wipes, just as they do with non-biodegradable wipes. However, flushing these wipes can cause blockages and can lead to fatbergs in sewer systems. They are better disposed of with other trash in the garbage or in a compost bin, where they can break down naturally into their component parts.

When selecting a biodegradable wipe, look for a COSMOS certification to ensure that the wet wipes are truly environmentally friendly. The packaging should also clearly state how long it will take for the wipes to fully biodegrade or decompose. You can also check that the wet wipes are septic-safe, which means they can be disposed of in bedpan washers, macerators and slop hoppers without causing damage to plumbing systems or clogging equipment.
