Ms Anderson moved a Bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of wet wipes containing plastic, citing widespread support from various organisations including MPs across parties. She highlighted that while there is consensus on the need for action, there has been no actual ban despite previous promises by the government in 2018. The current solution proposed by the Government of additional charges on single-use plastics was deemed insufficient as it would burden families rather than polluters. Anderson emphasised the environmental and health impacts of plastic-containing wet wipes, noting their contribution to marine pollution and human ingestion of microplastics. She further pointed out the economic costs associated with sewer blockages caused by these products and stressed that alternatives like bio-degradable materials exist but need government support for widespread adoption. The Bill aims at a clear plan leading to a ban on plastic in wet wipes, which Anderson urged the Secretary of State to implement.
