We understand the concern in relation to the new ban on plastic in wet wipes. We would like to confirm as our products are not sold to the general public we are exempt. For any customers who require plastic-free wipes, our Clean & Green range is a superb alternative.
In response to the Defra consultation first published in October 2023 proposing the UK-wide ban of manufacturing and selling wipes containing plastic, the UK Government has now published an update announcing they will introduce the legislation in July 2024.
Having reviewed the proposals, we can confirm our wet wipes are exempt due to our products not being sold to the General Public, ensuring no disruptions in your essential supplies.
Allied Hygiene, the largest independent UK wipes manufacturer, takes environmental responsibilities seriously and is committed to compliance and sustainability. Along with packaging options which reduce raw material use and associated carbon footprints, Allie also has a range of plastic-free biodegradable substrates available.
Rest assured, we are here to support you with high-quality compliant products. For more information, please speak to your Commercial team contact.
