Whatever happened to the mantra reduce, reuse, recycle? We definately need to change consumer habits. Katherine is right. The most up to date research shows that washable nappies are 40% better for the environment. You also need to factor in the chemicals in disposable nappies and the temperature inside the nappies too. This shouldn’t just be a debate about carbon and landfil but also about health.

Just came across your article about reusable nappies. The updated environment agency report stated that if laundered correctly (ie. on 40 degrees and not tumble dried) and used on more than one child, parents can achieve a 40% reduction in their nappy carbon footprint and reduce their landfill waste by 80 black bags. I do not know anyone who washes their nappies on 90 degrees.
