Tesco UK's first supermarket to ban 'essential' baby product to combat plastic

A new move to scrap all baby wipes, moist toilet tissue and general cleaning wipes and more containing plastic has been confirmed by Tesco.

The supermarket, which is the UK’s biggest seller of baby wipes, will no longer sell branded baby wipes containing plastic by March 14.

As Tesco stopped using plastic in its own label baby wipes two years ago the entire range will now be plastic-free - the move is massive as Tesco sells more than 75 million packs or 4.8 billion individual of the childcare 'essential' each year.
