Boots to make major change to wet wipe range in nationwide ban across all stores

Boots is to stop selling all wet wipes that contain plastic fibres by the end of the year.

The pharmacy chain, which sold more than 800 million wet wipes in the last year, said it would replace plastic-based wipes with plant-based biodegradable alternatives.

The move follows Boots reformulating its own-brand wipe ranges to remove plastic.
