Just to add that the ban is being rolled out across the uk (possibly because of the Single Market Act?). From [April last year](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-wide-ban-on-wet-wipes-containing-plastic-to-be-put-into-law), “Defra intend to bring forward the legislation for England ahead of summer recess, with Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales following by the autumn as part of an aligned approach to bring the ban into force”

Good. Insane that we are doing so little to stop the excessive production of single use plastics.

It’s infuriating we waste so much time assessing this shit. It’s clearly bad for the environment. The world doesn’t *need* plastic wet wipes. They’re a menace and just another example of corporations creating wasteful products nobody asked for or needed. Just fucking ban them already. And anything else like this.

That’s one way of saying that we’re voting Welsh Labour out next year!

You shouldn’t need to ban it. Companies should intend to bring these products to market and the government should be able to look at these on a case by case basis and decide that it’s not acceptable. Otherwise we will end up “banning” everything plastic which seems like a massive waste of time to do it in that way

How come alot of these wipes still have ‘flushable’ on the packaging?
