eco diapers

Eco friendly diapers are diapers that aim to minimise their impact on the environment through the materials used and/or the production processes applied. This includes reusable (cloth) diapers, but the term generally refers to disposable diapers that are sustainably made.At Kit and Kin, we make our diapers in a carbon neutral factory from sustainable and plant-derived materials. This includes the absorbent core of our diaper, which contains totally chlorine-free, FSC® certified wood pulp from sustainably managed forests and bio based gels. We are also the only diaper brand that buys rainforest to ensure it’s protected. Forever 🌳🙌

The vast majority of our diaper is made from biodegradable materials. A much higher proportion than other eco diapers and of course a complete improvement compared to diapers made from petrochemicals. There is currently no biodegradable alternative for the velcro tabs and the elastics in the leg cuffs, but we are always looking for new materials as they become available. Biodegradability depends very much on landfill conditions and access to oxygen but in the right conditions, our diapers will biodegrade much faster than plastic diapers. We are in conversations with local councils, working towards a recycling option for used diapers.

When it comes to choosing a diaper that’s good for the environment, you need to look for something that is better for baby, better for our world and gives back. Kit & Kin sustainable eco diapers are the only environmentally friendly diapers that tick all of these boxes. Our range also includes reusable cloth diapers to give you complete guilt-free flexibility, depending on what parenthood throws at you at any given moment 😊

Our hypoallergenic diapers are made from majority plant-based and biodegradable materials, so in order for them to break down as quickly as possible we would recommend following these simple steps:

• Ensure the used diaper is placed inside a biodegradable diaper sack which will allow for oxygen to permeate

• When disposing of the sack in the bin, if possible place it outside of the non-biodegradable bin liner (but still within the bin itself) as this will maximise the exposure to oxygen
