 Eco
friendly disposable nappies
Parenting is exhausting enough so thank heavens for the Guilt-Free Disposable
Nappy!
Many mothers want to avoid clogging up landfills with millions of disposable
nappies and will certainly be agreeing to the sentiments behind Real Nappy
Week which runs from 27 April to 2 May, but the reality of finding time
to wash nappies as well as all the other household chores would send many
of us a few nappies short of a full pack!
So thank heavens for guilt-free disposable nappies that offer the convenience
of disposable nappies combined with ecologically and environmentally friendly
methods of production and biodegradable disposal.
Online and phone order retailer, Naturebotts, first started to sell the
eco-friendly Moltex Öko disposable nappy, back in 2001. In 2006 they added
Bambo Nature nappies to their range, both proving extremely popular. These
nappies are free from unnecessary chemicals and are eco friendly. Bleached
using oxygen not chlorine, these nappies are made from more than 50% biodegradable
materials and contain fluff that is made from timber that has been cultivated
naturally from 100% certified sustainable resources. What's more the absorbent
pulp core is 100% chlorine free and the breathable protective back sheet
is made of a 100% biodegradable film. They are also free from natural
latex, perfumes, bleaches and brighteners.
These nappies offer the best of both worlds - green credentials with
the ease of a disposable. They are a guilt-free way of being able to avoid
some of the perceived environmental concerns of having your washing machine/tumble
drier on every day or adding to landfill (plus the other side-effects
often attributed to conventional disposables such as the risk of nappy
rash and other irritations and concerns associated with the unnecessary
chemicals used). If you also use Naturebotts' own biodegradable wipes
and degradable nappy sacks then you boost your eco credentials further.
Co-founder of Naturebotts and eco expert, Caitlin Castillo, says "At
Naturebotts we are dedicated to providing eco-friendly mother and baby
products tried and tested by ourselves and our children (6 boys and 2
girls between us!). We only sell what we use and our eco nappies use renewable
energy and fewer chemicals in their manufacture and contain recycled materials.
They can be used alongside cloth nappies for extra convenience such as
when travelling or at night time, or as a total solution for parents who
like being eco-friendly but not the idea of washing nappies. This all
adds up to a guilt-free conscience as you bring a baby into a world -
a world that needs a bit of help…."
