biom
The world's first biodegradable and home compostable wipe system.
How does it work?
biom is a plant-powered, biodegradable wipe that’s beautiful inside and out with a sleek, easy-to-use dispenser, that's built for the long haul, not the landfill. The wipes are made with zero plastics and 100% natural ingredients, because you shouldn’t have to wash your hands after using something that’s supposed to leave your space cleaner. Users get automatic refills of wipes, so they never run out.
Why is it needed?
Did you know that 90% of wet wipes contain plastic? Wet wipes and their packaging create billions of pounds of plastic waste every year. This didn’t sit right with us, so we set out to make a clean that leaves less behind—and contributes to a solution.
How does it improve life?
Creating planet-friendly wipes is only part of the equation: biom has partnered with Plastic Bank to wipe out plastic waste and create recycling programs that support underdeveloped communities. Every biom product contributes to their annual commitment of stopping 45.5 tons of plastic from entering the ocean in partnership with Plastic Bank®. That’s the equivalent of 2.27 million single-use plastic bottles.
