The Cheeky Panda is launching a new and improved version of The Cheeky Panda Biodegradable Anti-Bacterial Multi-Surface Cleaning Wipes.
The new wipes are being manufactured in the UK as The Cheeky Panda moves to bring all production to the UK, helping further reduce the business’ carbon footprint. The Cheeky Panda has also switched the wipes’ packaging to a 30% recycled content plastic wrapper, which helps reduce the amount of plastic which enters the waste cycle and makes it easier for business users to recycle in their current facilities.
The Cheeky Panda’s Biodegradable Anti-Bacterial Multi-Surface Cleaning Wipes are made with fast-growing, 100% biodegradable, FSC certified bamboo fibres and free from plastic, these wipes are sustainable and renewable. They can be disposed of and will biodegrade over time, unlike wipes made from non-biodegradable, ocean-polluting polyester or hard to biodegrade viscose. The carbon footprint of The Cheeky Panda Wipes is 35% lower than wipes made of recycled tree-based paper and 65% lower than virgin tree-based paper, and they help businesses cut their carbon emissions significantly. Compared to standard plastic wipes, the new antibacterial wipes offer a plastic saving of 180g per pack, and a carbon saving of 410g.
Alex Winyard, UK FMCG sales manager of The Cheeky Panda Ltd, said: “Sustainability has been a key driver for significant numbers of consumers over the last few years, with over 50% of 25-54s seeking on-pack sustainable messaging and certification and over 50% of consumers concerned about climate change. In the B2B market, where people are increasingly buying products for business use which can offer significant environmental benefits, wholesalers supplying businesses need to ensure the range they offer reflects this demand. Even in times of economic uncertainty, business users are still willing to pay a premium for products which both deliver on cleaning performance and meet their ethical needs.”
