Dettol's disinfection wipe portfolio is now biodegradable

Dettol's disinfection wipe portfolio is now biodegradable

Dettol has started its journey to ensure that all its disinfecting wipes in the UK market will be biodegradable, marking the next important step from the brand towards providing more sustainable choices for consumers.

Dettol will be updating the entire disinfection wipes portfolio including Surface Cleansing, Multi-Purpose, Floor, Big & Strong and Kitchen & Bathroom Wipes, implying that consumers can continue their new cleaning habits with the peace of mind that they are being less harmful to the environment, the company said.


Consumers no longer have to make a choice between biodegradable options and the products that they know will work, with all Dettol wipes across the portfolio killing 99.9 per cent of bacteria and Covid-19 virus.

Non-biodegradable wipes can take over 100 years to biodegrade in comparison to the new Dettol wipes, which are made of biodegradable fibers and take up to six months to break down in industrial composting conditions. Shoppers can simply dispose their biodegradable wipes in their food or garden composting waste bins or through their local council, making it easier than ever to make every day sustainable choices.

"Making our wipes portfolio biodegradable takes us another step towards a more sustainable future for the brand and helps us enable our consumers to make more sustainable choices without compromising on Dettol’s quality. From now on, consumers can start to feel more confident using the wipes they trust at home, knowing they are a more environmentally friendly option," Luca Tamagni, Dettol's marketing director Dettol said.

The roll out of the new Dettol biodegradable wipes has already begun and consumers will start seeing this disinfection wipe on shelves in their local store.
