THE MOTHER LOAD NAPPIES

Lucy WG

The Mother Load aims to address the issue of non-decomposing disposable nappies and baby wipes by introducing a decomposing, disposable nappy and baby wipe made entirely of biodegradable materials, such as wool. The Mother Load is a naturally decomposing, biodegradable disposable wool nappy and wipes that replaces the non-biodegradable synthetic material used in the production of disposable nappies and replaces it with wool technology and other biodegradable materials that absorbs, wicks and holds a child’s waste matter in the same way that any regular disposable nappy does.

We live in a day and age of consumerism that cares very little for the environment. In a culture of mass consumption, eco-friendly consumer products need to be more widely available. As soon as a child is born, we are taking away their right to live on a healthy planet because we use nappy products that will not decompose for hundreds of years. One child will use up to four nappies a day for the first two to three years of its life. That is more than 4000 nappies consumed by one child alone. Every environmentally safe The Mother Load nappy or wipe that’s sold means one less synthetic nappy and wipe that will not be found 500 years from now.
