Founder of Waterful, Tom Doyle said: “Following a period of impressive growth since we founded the company in 2020, Waterful is now looking to accelerate this growth and scale up the business appropriately. With the addition of Fiona to our senior leadership team, we continue to develop the firepower to help build awareness of an alternative babywipe that is not just completely safe for a baby’s skin, but is 100% plastic free. Our wipes contain just two simple ingredients plus water, naturally disintegrating within days versus a catastrophic 100 years that many baby wipes take to break down.”
“Consumers have become increasingly eco-savvy and environmentally conscious,” said Rawlinson. “People are listening and taking action. There is an underlying concern for our kids and successors and an increasing desire to provide a future where both people and planet thrive. Wipes have significantly contributed to the ubiquitous eco-guilt, so the launch of Waterful plastic-free wipes couldn’t have come at a better time.”
