Moltex Eco Nappy is Australia's # 1 Nappy that looks and works like conventional disposable nappies and are as effective at keeping your baby dry as the leading disposable nappy brands. No additional padding is required for even the wettest periods e.g. overnight, so there are less resources used and subsequently disposed of unlike other nappy options. The
Good
Environmental Choice Award
(GECA)
The only environmental labelling program which indicates the environmental performance of a product from a whole product life perspective. Moltex Eco Nappies are the only disposable nappy licensed in Australia by GECA to carry the Good Environmental Choice Ecolabel. Features & Benefits
Safer for your baby and our environmentThe impact a disposable nappy has on the environment is directly related to the substances used in the manufacture of the nappy, the amount of resources used and how well the nappy works i.e. how many are needed in any one day and of course the method of nappy disposal. We believe that the Moltex Eco Nappies are the best disposable nappies available for your baby and our environment, and heres why: Biodegradable Backsheet - the breathable backsheet is made from 100% biodegradable material. Biodegradable Gel - 20% of the absorbent granules in the core of the nappy has been replaced by specially developed environmental granules based on maize starch. 100% Chlorine Free manufactured using 50% unbleached woodpulp and 50% chlorine free bleached woodpulp which means no toxic residues from bleaching agents that could harm your baby's skin. Tea Leaf Extract in the Core - Moltex Eco Nappies use pure natural tea leaf to help with odour control. The tea leaf has also proven very effective in protecting against fungi, viruses and yeast, ie nappy rash. It contains cell-constructing substances eg vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C which are essential for cell metabolism. No TBT - TBT (tributyl tin) is an environmental pollutant with a hormone-like effect. The smallest concentrations of TBT can harm children's immune systems and impair their hormonal system (1). No Unnecessary Brighteners - The majority of conventional disposable nappies use whiteners to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Moltex Eco Nappies do not include this processing and so avoid exposing your babys skin to these unnecessary chemicals. No Lotions or antioxidants - Babies are born with a natural protective layer on the outside: the skin. The skin is however also absorbent, especially if exposed to chemicals for a long period of time. Synthetic lotions are put into some nappies. These are like oils and are meant to be waterproof but become rancid over time. Special chemicals, called antioxidants, are added to lotions to make them stay fresh longer. The Moltex Eco Nappies have no lotions, and no need for antioxidants. 100% Degradable Packaging the packaging is 100% degradable and has perforations to easily open along the top for re-use as a compost or bin bag. Moltex Eco Nappies are Compostable - Moltex's Eco Nappies do not need to be added to landfill sites. The inner contents of the nappy have proven to breakdown to make excellent compost within 8-10 weeks in a wormery. The minimum super-absorbent material used in the nappy gives excellent water retention properties to the compost which is especially relevant to our climate and water shortage issues. Donating to Charity - Moltex make a donation to Trees For Life for every box of Moltex Eco Nappies sold - so you are helping to revegetate and protect our native bushland. They also offset all carbon emissions for the shipping of the nappies to Greening Australia's Breathe Easy Program. |
