Ecobots disposable nappies
Filed Under Baby Products | Trackback
Ecobots are an environmentally friendly disposable baby nappy (diaper). Ever had a baby? Think how many disposables you go through and where they end up. Most likely in landfill somewhere. These are also the only ones to be endorsed by Planet Ark.
Whilst they are not totally biodegradable, they are an improvement on many of the other mainstream brands. They are 68% biodegradable and of biological origin whereas the average for other brands is closer to 30% to 40%. At the time of writing they are also working on a reliable source for more biodegrable packaging.
They use biodegradable wood pulp from renewable plantation sources and use a non-chlorine bleaching process so you get the nice clean white look without the environmental damage. The bioplastics are based on a modified corn starch which is 100% biodegradable.
The full range and further details can be found at the Ecobots website.
