Cloth nappies can also be referred to as real nappies, reusable nappies, cotton nappies or washable nappies.
The Essex Cloth Nappy Campaign was established in 2000 to encourage parents and carers to try cloth nappies as an alternative to disposable nappies. The campaign has evolved into a continual educational programme, helping to raise awareness throughout Essex. The latest development is the introduction of the Essex Cloth Nappy Network.
The campaign aims to reduce the amount of nappies in the Essex waste stream by increasing the use of cloth nappies, raise awareness through education of the environmental issues associated with the use of nappies and overcome the perception that cloth nappies are old fashioned and less effective than disposables.
