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.

The report also shows that even with occasional tumble drying (half the assumed normal level) and using full washing machine loads will have a 25% improvement on disposables.





REAL NAPPY WEEK IN LONDON
The fun lasted all week, 21 - 27 April 2008. In Lewisham there was a Teddy Bears' Picnic and Vivienne Thomson, Real Nappy Officer in Lewisham, went along to Greenwich Market to show shoppers some of the exciting new ranges of real nappies.



FOR MORE INFO on Women's Environmental Network's response to the recently publicised 2005 Environment Agency (EA) report on nappies visit WEN's website. A new EA report is due to be published in early 2008.

THE SCHEME WAS LAUNCHED on 29 June by Women's Environmental Network matron and presenter of BBC2's 'No Waste Like Home', Penney Poyzer along with London parents and their babies, midwives and councillors. See Real people for pictures and write up.

You now have real choice

There is now amazing choice in washable nappies. Boiling terries and pins are a thing of the past and real nappies now come in a wide range of easy to wash soft and natural fabrics with popper and Velcro fastenings and breathable waterproof wraps in funky designs.

This London-wide incentive scheme helps you in choosing and trying cloth nappies.

Parents and parents-to-be can receive:

• an information pack;
• invitations to informal sessions and events; and
• a valuable voucher to be exchanged for 'real' (washable) nappies and accessories at listed retailers, or for a trial period with a nappy laundry service.

There is also a helpline, activities and support for parents in Real Nappies for London boroughs.
