I take this opportunity to state that wet wipes should be binned, not flushed, regardless of whether they are plastic or plastic-free. When wrongly flushed, these products contribute to sewer blockages, which cause environmental harm, including pollution incidents and sewer flooding. The Government are supportive of campaigns that encourage the correct disposal of wet wipes, including Water UK’s Bin the Wipe campaign, and of industry action and innovation in this space.
