Real nappies
A parent's choice
- Did you know that one baby’s
disposable nappies can fill 40 black sacks a year?
- In Knowsley alone, approximately 844
tonnes of disposable nappies are landfilled every year. With
the amount of landfill space rapidly decreasing, we need you to
help us reduce the amount of disposable nappies in our
refuse.
Why choose washable or real nappies?
- Financial benefits - using washable
nappies could save you over £300 for the first child and they can
be re-used for subsequent children.
- Environmental benefits - choosing
washable nappies means that no nappy waste is sent to
landfill
- Health benefits - using washable
nappies has been known to help speed up toilet
training.
