Nice-Pak International, which produces a range of wet wipes on behalf of global brands and retailers, asserts that its UK output is already 90 per cent free of plastic. Supplying baby, household, skincare and moist toilet tissue wipes, Nice-Pak has seen its UK plastic-free production grow from nine per cent to 90 per cent in just five years across all of these categories. The company, which has a huge factory at Westwood Park, has made a significant investment and determined effort to switch to plastic-free materials. United Utilities routinely deals with around 60, 000 blockages in the sewer system every year, largely caused by a build-up of products that should not be flushed such as wet wipes, nappies or sanitary items. The blockage problems are often compounded by fat, oil and grease that is wrongly poured away down the drain, causing the dreaded fatbergs.
