Why you should ditch your makeup wipes
Posted on April 20, 2016 by DrRossH in Plastic Waste NewsThey’re the epitome of lazy beauty, but what harm are they doing to your skin – and the environment?
via Why you should ditch your makeup wipes.
But there’s a problem. Our global obsession with makeup wipes is clogging up our drains and choking our beaches. (Too many of us flush them down the loo and because they often contain plastic, they do not disintegrate like toilet paper.)
You just have to catch glimpse of that gross 10-tonne fatberg – a bus-sized lump of wet wipes and congealed cooking oil – to get the picture. Those things we use to keep us relatively clean and nice smelling during four-day festival benders and 14-hour flights where you’re fighting it out to use a tiny bathroom sink are seriously harming the environment.
Another item that should not be allowed on the shop shelves. They are dumped every where as litter and do not go away. Go back to paper wipes.
