The Recycling Consortium (TRC), based in Bristol, in the South West of the UK has merged with Network Recycling and SWAP to form Resource Futures Ltd.
One of the key projects is the Real Nappy Project, which promotes the use of washable nappies as an alternative to disposables. Outreach teams give talks and demonstrations in clinics, parent and baby groups, health centres, leisure centres, city farms, libraries and other public venues – wherever parents might be converted to a 'new' approach to an age-old job.
The project also runs a lending service, so that parents who wish to try out real nappies can do so without committing themselves financially. I am not sure if you return the dirty nappies if you don’t like them.
What I learned that was special:
• Every baby will need more than 5,000 nappies in their first 2½ years. At present these can represent half of all household rubbish for families with just one child. It means that in the UK we send 9 million disposables to landfill every day – that's about 3 billion a year.
