We have done independent investigations on both regular and "eco-friendly" disposable nappies to check their ethical credentials.
Our investigation includes:
- verifying claims to be certified with various eco-credentials
- reviewing retailer claims about plant-based and biodegradable components
- assessing carbon emissions potential based on factory location and renewable energy use
- checking retailer websites for signs of greenwashing
To understand more about our methodology or how to pick an ethical nappy for yourself, see our buying guide.
