Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The range is rolling out now, including Dettol’s Surface Cleansing, Multi-Purpose, Floor, Big & Strong and Kitchen & Bathroom wipes.
The brand said the move will mean that consumers can continue their new cleaning habits with the peace of mind that they are being less harmful to the environment.
It said non-biodegradable wipes can take more than 100 years to biodegrade in comparison to the new Dettol wipes, which are made of biodegradable fibres and take up to six months to break down in industrial composting conditions.
Shoppers can dispose of their biodegradable wipes in their food or garden composting waste bins or through their local council.
Luca Tamagni, marketing director at Dettol, said “Making our wipes portfolio biodegradable takes us another step towards a more sustainable future for the brand and helps us enable our consumers to make more sustainable choices without compromising on Dettol’s quality.
“From now on, consumers can start to feel more confident using the wipes they trust at home, knowing they are a more environmentally friendly option.”
