Here at Monkey Stars we care about the planet. One of the biggest waste products that go to landfill sites are ‘disposable’ nappies. Keep an eye on our store for our upcoming range of re-usable nappies. Why not give them a try and see if you can reduce your family's waste and carbon footprint, not to mention saving yourself a small fortune in nappy costs!

Check out these nappy waste facts...
- In the UK around 8 million disposable nappies are used every day – that’s almost 3 billion each and every year!
- One baby's disposable nappies fill 40 black sacks in a year.
- Disposable nappies may take up to 500 years to decompose, essentially making them present in our landfills forever.
- For every tonne of nappy waste recycled, 400kg of wood, 145 cubic metres of natural gas and 8,700 cubic metres of water is saved.
- Cleaned, reclaimed plastic polymers from recycled nappies can be used in everything from shoe insoles, to building tiles, to the inners of bicycle helmets!
Wouldn't it be great if we could recycle our nappies along with our other household waste?
Well, there are some companies in the UK that offer a kerbside nappy bin collection.
