arrowRecycling - Nappies
Real Nappies
Did you know that almost 8 million nappies are thrown away every day in the UK?  These nappies, made from super absorbent chemicals, plastics and adhesives can take hundreds of year to break down in our landfill sites.
So what's the alternative?
Real nappies are reusable nappies made from breathable materials, which are absorbent and kind to delicate skin as they don't contain the chemicals or gels that can be found in disposable nappies. They're available in lots of modern and funky designs, and fasten with poppers and velcro, or nappy nippa's so there's not a safety pin in sight. The Rethink Rubbish website has excellent details on using environmentally friendly nappies. This includes details of local laundry services and contact details for buying washable nappies.
