Are WaterWipes biodegradable?
At WaterWipes we pride ourselves on making the world’s purest baby wipe for newborn and
sensitive skin. We fully understand that we also have responsibility to help protect the planet
your little one will inherit. We made a commitment to having a 100% biodegradable solution
without compromising on the purity of our product in 2020 and we are really, really close.
The terms flushable and biodegradable are often used interchangeably, but they are very
different. No wipes, including biodegradable wipes, should be flushed. Often, even flushable
wipes take time to break down in our sewer systems. Disposing of wipes with the household
rubbish is the best way to help protect our environment.
