Instead of
Wet wipes Reusable cloth wipes
Why switch
Healthier
Plain cloth and water — no fragrance, preservatives or plastic fibres on your skin.
Greener
Most wipes are plastic; they clog sewers into fatbergs and shed microplastics for years.
The impact
You, per year 300 wet wipes
All of the world 2.43 trillion wet wipes skipped / year
If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:
- 2.43 trillion wet wipes
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce
A few washable cloths replace box after box of single-use wipes.
Reuse
Rinse, wash and use again — a cloth lasts years.
Recycle
Worn-out cotton cloths compost; never flush any wipe.
