Flushable wipes are often marketed as "flushable," but in reality, they do not disintegrate properly in the sewer system, causing clogs and environmental hazards—Twipes set out to change this with the first truly flushable, biodegradable wipes. These all-purpose wipes are safe for the whole body and they're gently microbial, made of natural cellulose fibers from FSC-certified forests.
Twipes' packaging is 100% recyclable plastic, which was chosen to be as environmentally conscious as possible. "Unfortunately, there's no getting around the plastic issue in a health setting, such as wet wipes," said McIntosh, "Due to hygiene and sanitary purposes, the only two options are either plastic materials or metals." While plastic is recyclable, metals add to the shipping weight and carbon of transportation.
