What Makes DDC Dolphin
Eco-Friendly Wipes Different?

To put it simply, they are fully compostable – they completely break down and disperse into 100% organic matter when disposed of in bedpan washers, macerators, slop hoppers or toilets.

Whilst many competitor products can claim that they are biodegradable, this simply means that they will eventually break down into smaller pieces by natural processes. In reality what this means is they decompose into microplastics, further polluting our already dangerously damaged natural environment.

  • Advanced non-woven 100% cellulosic material
  • Passed all 7 tests for EDANA & INDA standards of flushability
  • Unique market-leading strength and performance
  • Suitable for use on all areas of the body including intimate areas
  • Suitable for use on all skin types and ages from newborn to the elderly
