Reusable nappies

Reusable-nappy-photo-pink.jpg

Reusable nappies have transformed from the old-fashioned folded cloth nappies.

Modern reusable nappies are easy to use and readily available in a wide range of designs. Plus incorporating them into your routine can reduce waste going to landfill and save you money.

Even using one reusable nappy per day will mean saving 365 nappies from landfill in one year for one baby.

You don’t have to go it alone.

About The Nappy Project

Nillumbik was a part of The Nappy Project - an initiative of 14 councils across Victoria to help support residents to use reusable nappies rather than disposables. For information, tips and advice on using reusable nappies, visit The Nappy Project.

This project was supported by the Victoria Government's Circular Economy Councils Fund.
