Eco Wipes and the Biodegradable Choice Standard baby wipes are made from plastic fibres - they don't biodegrade, and across thousands of nappy changes, they represent a real environmental impact. Eco and biodegradable alternatives use plant-based or natural fibre materials that break down after use, removing the most persistent element of the wipe without sacrificing convenience. Dry wipes take this a step further - chemical-free cloths used wet with water or as a light dry wipe. They last longer per pack than standard wipes and give you full control over what goes onto your baby's skin at every change.
