Environment Agency report reveals cloth nappies can save 40% carbon emissions
An Updated Lifecycle Assessment Study for Disposable and Reusable Nappies examines the environmental impacts of the two systems. While at first glance the report suggests there may be little to choose between them, it shows how a good washing routine can make all the difference. Simply washing nappies in fuller loads in an energy efficient machine and line drying them provides over 40% reduction in carbon. Reusing nappies on a second child saves even more.
