Reduce: Why not try reusable nappies to help reduce the 2.9 billion disposable nappies that are being disposed of each year in the UK. There are environmental benefits as well as the possibility of saving money.

Disposal: Nappies can't be recycled and should be placed in your general rubbish bin. All waste placed in your rubbish bin is taken to one of Staffordshire's energy recovery plants. Any paper and cardboard in your pack of new nappies can be recycled. Please do not recycle the nappies, plastic film or any polystyrene packaging.
