Bamboo Behinds – Eco Nappies

RRP: $25.00

BRONZE

Introducing the most sustainable disposable nappy in Australia. Biodegrading 60% in 75 days, it contains less plastic than any other eco nappy. The packaging is plastic-free, enabling composting at home. They are also an affordable price, making convenience environmentally friendly.

Clean

Made from excellent non-toxic materials. Both the top and back sheets are made from 100% bamboo fibre. The inner lining is made from bleach free Japanese wood pulp. The nappy will biodegrade 60% in 75 days.

Ethical

Bamboo Behinds conducts an annual Full SMETA audit of its small, family-owned factory in China to ensure working conditions, safety, and fairness for workers. The brand purchases sundry items from small Australian-owned businesses instead of large corporations such as Officeworks and Bunnings. The brand believes that working with small factories provides more transparency about worker conditions.

Sustainable

Bamboo Behinds' nappy packaging is 100% home compostable. The brand uses carbon-neutral delivery providers and packaging that fits their products precisely, reducing the amount of packaging and transit impact. They do not use any packing foam in their shipping and offer pick-up options for customers in Brisbane to reduce emissions from additional trips. In the case of returns, the brand refunds the customer rather than requesting the product to be sent back, reducing unnecessary carbon emissions.

Responsible

Bamboo Behinds has engaged in social responsibility efforts such as donating nappy boxes to Baby Give Back and foster parents in the local region, paying annual school fees for two Ugandan women who could not otherwise attend school, and contributing to local charities such as the Mater Foundation, Chain Reaction, and SLSA.

Product reviews from our experts…

Bamboo Behinds Eco Nappies are compact and lightweight. They don’t feel overly substantial (while still being reliable and absorbent!) which to me is representative of their ability to break down quickly!

Bamboo Behinds is seriously committed to sustainability and minimising the impact of their disposable nappies – while also ensuring this product is accessible for parents and comfy for bubs!

–Brittanie Dreghorn

Beautifully soft and gentle nappies! I found them to be durable, really absorbent and the fit meant they were comfortable for my bub with no leaks. Bonus is there are no bright patterns on them that can be seen through clothing. I also love that Bamboo Behinds have zero plastic in their packaging and that it is home compostable!

–Courtney Dow

This nappy is soft, absorbent and fits my nephew really well, even around his smaller thighs. I really appreciate that the packaging is home compostable, which saves dramatically on landfill. I also like that the nappy biodegrades 60% within the first couple of months and that the brand is working hard to increase this!
