Previously, we discussed the importance of feminine hygiene disposal and how installing dedicated disposal bins can prevent costly plumbing issues. However, male hygiene disposal is equally important. With a significant rise in men using wet wipes and incontinence products, providing proper disposal solutions is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity.
That’s why NWR Hygiene Group is proud to offer our men’s hygiene disposal service to both new and existing customers.
The growing need for male hygiene disposal
The UK consumes approximately 11 billion wet wipes annually, around 163 per person with 90% containing plastic. These wipes contribute to major environmental issues, including sewer blockages and marine pollution. Despite being marketed as “flushable,” independent tests show that most do not break down properly, increasing the risk of plumbing issues and environmental damage.
Each year, up to 300,000 sewer blockages occur in the UK due to non-biodegradable materials, costing water companies millions in maintenance. In response, the UK government introduced legislation in 2024 to ban plastic-infused wet wipes, giving manufacturers 18 months to transition to more sustainable alternatives.
A comprehensive, hassle-free service
Our men’s hygiene disposal service is designed to operate seamlessly alongside our existing sanitary disposal solutions.
