The Great Nappy Debate: Can Parents Save the Planet?
Choosing between disposables and reusables feels impossible. Disposables are convenient but contribute 183kg of CO₂ per child each year—the same as driving 450 miles. With 3 billion nappies discarded annually in the UK, that’s like driving around the Earth 11,400 times.
Reusables promise a greener solution but come with a gruelling laundry routine—pre-washes, long cycles, and tumble drying—that uses extra water and energy. While they reduce carbon emissions by 25%, their environmental impact isn’t as low as we’d like.
At Otti’s Botti®, we’re working on a hybrid nappy that’s kind to the planet and practical for parents. Stay tuned for a nappy revolution!
