On this page you will find a brief statement from our team regarding the report, our press release, various other reactions and news links and the link to the presentations from the recent conference held on the LCA report.

From the team:

"We know that using washable nappies is both good for your baby, good for your pocket and good for the environment, until some other way is found to get rid of disposable nappies other than putting them into landfill (7,000 tons a year in Cornwall alone), then washable nappies are a good and informed choice".
