Women's Environmental Network (WEN) is a registered charity educating, informing and empowering women and men who care about the environment. It has campaigned to raise awareness of the environmental impacts associated with disposable nappies and to promote the use of washable cloth ('real') nappies to reduce that impact since 1989. WEN developed and established the Real Nappies for London scheme and is running it in partnership with the listed London boroughs and London Community Recycling Network.
WEN also runs a Real Nappy Exchange, which puts buyers and sellers of used real nappies in touch with one another.

Most babies have a natural desire to be clean and dry. 'Elimination Communication' or 'diaper free' is a way of learning to read the signs your baby makes so you can use fewer nappies and create less washing!

Auction site for used nappies. The founder says, 'At The Used Nappy Company, we feel strongly
that reselling/reusing washable nappies is doubly eco-friendly; we are keen for nappies to be
reused/recycled and for parents new to cloth to maybe just try them out for a lower cost than
buying brand new.'
