(Picture: PA Archive)High street retailer Boots will remove all wet wipes that contain plastic fibres from its shelves by the end of the year, totalling more than 800 million annually.
The UK’s biggest pharmacy chain will replace the wipes with plant based biodegradable alternatives, following a trial that included Boots reformulating its own brand wipe ranges and making efforts to reduce plastic and become “a more sustainable retailer”.
