That’s why it was crucial that we partner with NappiCycle and make nappy recycling a reality for all UK parents. Every day, 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away in the UK – each one taking up to 500 years to biodegrade. It’s a cycle that that needs to stop. The recovered cellulose from nappies can also be used to make notice boards, flooring and insulation. Credit: Pura If you are planning on taking your little one for a dip, you will want to make sure they are wearing a good swimming nappy to avoid any accidents in the water. Unlike regular nappies, these Huggies Little Swimmers are made from lighter materials which don’t make the nappy swell or become heavy when immersed in water. This means that, while the nappies won’t be able to contain urine (be careful when you are out of the water), they do a great job of holding in any number twos. Although they are thinner than usual nappies, they have leak guards that form a seal around the legs so your baby (and anyone in the vicinity) will be protected while enjoying a swim. The nappies are super flexible around the waist and sport an elastic adjustment system that adapts to the size of your toddler for a more comfortable fit. This is key in helping your child learn how to put their underwear on and take them off by themselves. They also have cute Disney designs that appeal to children and can encourage them to engage with the potty-training process. These soft and breathable pull-up nappies are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. They’re easy to remove for changing and are a convenient option to ensure your child remains comfortable and dry as they reach their next big milestone.

Pura CEO Guy Fennell said: “Despite extensive research, the technology for the perfect eco-friendly disposable nappy unfortunately doesn’t exist yet. As we seek that solution, we are determined to drive change and minimise the damage nappies are having on the planet. It’s simple. You decide which Pura products you want, how many and how often, (every 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks) and we’ll deliver them direct to your door. Happy baby: Pura’s easy-on pants are enhanced with soft organic cotton for bottom comfort. 0% chlorine, perfumes and allergens to protect your tot’s delicate skin. The super absorbent plant-fibre core keeps your little wriggler’s skin dry and nappy leak free for up to 12 hours.

And guess what? They’re as bottom-friendly as they are planet-friendly. With 99% water and organic aloe vera, our wipes are approved by midwives and paediatricians and are clinically proven to be suitable for the most sensitive of skin. Switching to Pura is the one change you’ll actually look forward to making.

The scheme already prevents more than 800,000 nappies from being sent to landfill in Wales every single week. Guy’s mission is to bring nappy recycling to the entire UK, starting with a nappy recycling trial in Bristol which is set to launch in the coming months. If you’re on a journey to minimise your carbon footprint, but are not quite ready to commit to reusable nappies, then eco-friendly disposables are the next best option. As “the most accredited eco-nappy”, the Eco by Kit & Kin is made with sustainable plant-based materials and is kind to both the planet and your baby’s skin. Approved by dermatologists, these nappies are hypoallergenic and contain no chlorine, latex, perfume or parabens. We changed the way we test nappies in September 2023. Any nappies and their scores tested from this date will not be comparable to models tested before then.

nappies have been used to resurface the 1.4 mile stretch of the A487 between Cardigan to Aberystwyth. Our eco-awesome plant-fibre wipes are 100% plastic-free and made with just 99% water and organic aloe vera. Good for babies, planet and your piggy bank – switching to Pura is the one change you’ll look forward to making. Partnered with NappiCycle – the UK’s only nappy recycling service, working to keep nappies out of landfill. Pura’s EU Eco label accredited nappy pants can be pulled up like big kid undies - but with the same skin protection and eco credentials as our regular nappies.

Daytime to night-time, you know you’re striking the best possible balance between a happy bottom and a happy planet. There’s a no hassle, free cancellation process and if you decide you’d like to take a break, we can hold your subscription for as long as you want and restart it whenever you are ready. No nappy gives 100% performance with 0% environmental impact. (Believe us, we’ve looked.) That’s why we created Pura nappies. They have no nasty chemicals, and use renewable materials wherever possible, without compromising on effectiveness.The road resurfacing is just one fantastic example of how recycled nappies - that would have otherwise ended up in landfill - can be put to really good use.”
