Mass made of billions of wet wipes the 'size of two tennis courts' change course of the Thames

Billions of wet wipes, a common household product used for disinfecting surfaces, that have been discarded are ending up in London, England’s river Thames — and are now changing its course.

“There’s an island the size of two tennis courts and I’ve been and stood on it — it’s near Hammersmith Bridge in the Thames and it’s a metre deep or more in places of just wet wipes,” MP Fleur Anderson said in the House of Commons, The Times reported. “It’s actually changed the course of the Thames.”

In the U.K., 11 billion wet wipes are used each year that contain plastic, Anderson wrote in a press release.



’Don’t feed the fatberg’: Huge mass of fat, oil and baby wipes blocks English sewer

How a monster 'fatberg' clogged a London sewer — 'We've never seen a single lump of lard this big'





Wet wipes are often flushed down toilets and clog up sewers. They also contribute to “fatbergs” — giant blocks made up of garbage, fat, oil and grease that meld together after being poured down drains. Wet wipes and other items, like diapers and cotton balls, that shouldn’t be flushed end up entangled in the “fatbergs.”

Wet wipes make up 90 per cent of the material found in “fatbergs,” The London Economic reported.

In 2019, a “fatberg” the size of a bus, weighing 40 tonnes, was cleared from London’s sewers.

“This has an impact on our ecology, on the wildlife and it’s got to be stopped,” said Anderson in a video posted on Twitter, pushing for a ban on wipes that contain plastic.
