*Disclaimer: Disposable Baby Wipes are never going to be as good for the environment as reusable baby wipes, no matter how biodegradable they are.
Biodegradability is important – baby wipes which are made of biodegradable materials will break down faster than ones which aren’t. Unfortunately, landfill is an environment with no light and air; without this, even a highly biodegradable wipe’s decomposition is extremely slow. Landfill sites are getting better in their circulation but the sad truth is that disposable wipes aren’t ever good for the environment, they can just be less bad. Compostable wipes must be composted in industrial facilities and not the home compost due to the contamination with faecal matter that a wipe gathers. Your ability to do this depends on the services in your local area.
Cradle to Grave impact: Disposable wipes can have a large negative environmental impact during aspects of its whole life cycle; from the raw materials if they are not sustainable, to the manufacture if they don’t recycle water and solvent, to their disposal in landfill.
All disposable wipes are wrapped in soft plastic packages. The hard clip top lids can be recycled.
