Waitrose’s own-brand wet wipes have been certified as "Fine to Flush", becoming the first UK supermarket to achieve the standard. The supermarket’s fragrance-free and lightly-fragranced moist toilet tissue refill wipes break down quickly and easily and are therefore safe to enter the sewage system. Waitrose has also launched a new range of biodegradable wipes, which will be available in all its stores from next month. This is the latest in Waitrose's sustainability initiatives, which have included an Unpacked trial to let customers shop using refillable containers and a commitment to remove black plastic from its own-brand products by the end of 2019.
