Last week health and beauty retailer Boots followed Aldi in banning plastic wipes from their stores . The news comes after the high street store sold 800 million wet wipes last year.
In a move to offer customers more sustainable options to lessen their impact on the environment, Boots will only be selling biodegradable wipes, replacing plastic-based wipes with ones using plant-based fibres instead.
As around 11 million wet wipes are used in the UK each year - and most contain plastic - it’s important to do your bit for the planet if you must use them.
