Overview

Moltex Öko eco-friendly disposable nappies offer all the convenience of disposable nappies whilst being kinder to our planet and gentle on babies.

In South Africa alone, 1 billion disposable nappies are sold each year. Experts estimate that each disposable nappy will take between 500 and 800 years to break down. This means tons and tons of waste choking landfills which are under pressure already. When these landfills fill up, it will cost us, the taxpayers, millions of rands to transport waste elsewhere. Not to mention the toxic effects of latent waste leaking into the ground and giving off methane, adding to the global warming crisis.

If these issues matter to you, and cloth or re-usable nappies are not an option for you, an eco-friendly disposable nappy is the answer. Moltex Öko nappies offer superb green credentials from cradle to grave. Raw materials are sourced from sustainable resources, with the absorbent core made from FSC approved wood pulp, manufacturing processes are mindful of the environment and it consists of more than 50% biodegradable materials.

The nappies can be composted in as short a period as 6-8 weeks according to some studies. The product is 100% chlorine-free and is packaged in a 100% biodegradable bag. They are free from perfume, lotions, deodorants, natural latex, chemical antioxidants, dioxin and TBT and is therefore suitable for babies suffering from eczema or sensitive skin. There is no compromise on quality as the nappies have elasticised, re-closable fasteners for a perfect fit to prevent leaking and chafing and the nappies are super-absorbent.
