Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Diapers
The Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Diapers might not be organic like the Moltex Oko Disposable Organic Diapers, however, they are still much better than the other mass produced brands that include harmful chemicals such as chlorine. Th Seventh Generation diapers are not whitened with chlorine and thus help reduce the exposure of your babies to harmful chemicals at such an important time of their life.
Like all Seventh Generation products, all the ingredients are disclosed and a quick look at the website shows they contain chlorine free wood pulp fluff and are fragrance and latext free. The leg gathers are stretchy and with resealable closure tabs they compare just as well, if not better from a performance basis, that the leading mass marketed brands.

Moltex Oko disposable diapers
The Moltex Oko disposable baby diaper is marketed as am eco friendly disposable diaper that is also better for your baby. There are no added chemicals as found in the mainstream brands. These chemicals, such as lotions and deodorants are used to keep odours away. Unfortunately these can cause rashes and other problems such as fungi and viruses. The Oko diapers use a green tea leaf extract to help with odours.
Twenty percent of the absorbant gel has also been replaced with a totally biodegradable absorbant gel made from maize (corn) starch. Being a natural product this also tends to prevent for formation of ammonia which can also cause skin rashes. Of course the diapers are also 100% chlorine free. These diapers might take a bit of getting used to because they aren’t the traditional white colour. Using 50% unbleached cellulose and b leaching with hydrogen rather than chlorine it gives them a natural brown colour.
The breathable backsheet is made from 100% biodegradable materials as is the packaging. All this means a fully compostable diaper without the need to add to landfill or be burnt, which just causes a bunch of other issues.
For details about the range see the Oko Loco website.
Ecobots disposable nappies
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.
