Mama Bamboo
We searched high and low for a comfy, breathable nappy that was free of synthetic chemicals and was sustainably-made and compostable under industrial conditions and we found Mama Bamboo.
They've won a host of awards for being the best eco-nappy on the market and after putting them through the greenwash filter, we think they deserve them.

PLANET
Mama Bamboo use FSC certified Moso bamboo, a healthy material which grows quickly and is more effective as a carbon sink than any other tree or grass. Each year Mama Bamboo calculate their carbon footprint and offset this through supporting the Ugandan Bamboo Village Programme. They aim to reach Net Zero by 2035, and as a next step we would like to see third-party verification of their emissions reduction plans.
