Wype Dispenser
Reducing bathroom waste
Brief
The brief was to eliminate single use wet wipes through refillable design.
Narrative
Wet wipes contribute to 93% of sewer blockages in the UK, in a typical beach clean, 12 wet wipes are picked off the beach every 100 meters and most wet wipes breakdown into micro-plastics.
Outcome
A beautifully designed, patent pending pump that dispenses the gel out of 6 spaced holes, allowing you to spread the gel onto toilet tissue with greater, more even, surface coverage.

Patent pending design
Gels and sprays exist that you apply to toilet paper to ‘turn it into a wet wipe’. However, they typically apply only to a single area, causing the paper to get too wet and rip.
So we designed a patent pending pump that dispenses the gel out of 6 spaced holes, allowing you to spread the gel onto toilet tissue with greater, more even, surface coverage. Perhaps not the most glamorous of products, this tackles a genuine problem that costs councils millions each year in clean up, not to mention the environmental costs on our water-ways and oceans.
In addition to helping remove the need for wet wipes, the pump comes with recyclable aluminium refills, eliminating all single use plastic.
After a successful crowdfund in Autumn 2021, Wype is set to launch in February.
