Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

Environmental Protection (Wet Wipes Containing Plastic) (England) Regulations 2025

Contribution

A number of noble Lords mentioned labelling. Mandatory labelling was not included in the 2023 consultation, and it is therefore not included alongside the ban, but we will consider whether it will be required to prevent wet wipes and other unflushables being wrongfully flushed. We will also consider whether we need to include mandatory product labelling or an extended producer responsibility scheme to stop the wrongful flushing of wet wipes.
