Are your wipes biodegradable?

We were more than a little excited when our testing proved you don’t need to compromise on quality to produce biodegradable wipes. So that’s exactly why we’ve made a wipe that is strong enough to tackle the nastiest nappy or stickiest face and still break down after use. Our wipes are 100% biodegradable and our lab tests show that they disintegrate faster than an apple core! Mum & You biodegradable baby wipes disintegrate in only 3 days, compared to an apple core which took 7 days in simulated landfill conditions**. Wipes used for anything except dirty nappy changes can be home composted too‡!

*Wipes are compostable according to European Standards EN13432 and are certified by TÜV Austria as OK compost Home.

**Test method ASTM D5511.

‡ Wipes used for dirty nappies should be disposed of along with your normal household waste.
