The Nappies You Love, Now Even Better

Based on your feedback, we’ve made thoughtful improvements to our plant-based nappies.

Early last year we asked for your feedback on your Ecoriginals experience. With thousands of amazing responses from our community we went on a journey of sourcing new materials that maintain our high standards and enhance our commitment to environmentally conscious solutions. Now after 12 months of hard work, countless hours of development and hundreds of nappies tested with real families, we’re thrilled to introduce our newly enhanced Ecoriginals nappies, designed to offer the same gentle rash free care with even more sustainably sourced materials and positive environmental impact.

More About Our Nappies

100% plant-based layers: Hypoallergenic, Dermatest Accredited, sustainably and ethically sourced materials, free from all harmful chemicals and irritants.

Wood Pulp: FSC certified wood pulp is a vital component of our plant-based absorbent core, which draws moisture into a soft, breathable centre. 

Tissue Paper: Layers of tissue paper wrap our key absorbent components to keep them together in a natural shell, and lock wetness away to maintain up to 12-hours of dryness. 

Super absorbent polymers (SAP): our high-quality absorbent polymers are another powerhouse in the absorbency of our non-toxic nappies.

Corn Starch: The 100% compostable PLA layer is made of a corn starch film that is an all-natural, water-resistant layer that works to disperse liquid and is an alternative to plastics you may find in traditional nappies.

Pure Cotton: Our USA Certified Organic Cotton back sheet is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified and delivers breathability whilst providing the structure and shape of our premium nappies. Our cotton waistband and leg cuffs ensure a comfortable fit for your little one.

Spandex: A small but efficient amount of spandex is incorporated into our leg cuffs ensuring a perfect fit to eliminate leaks and spills. 

Our unique Plantcell Technology™ was developed to enhance absorbency and performance of our eco nappies. Harnessing the inherent natural properties of plant based materials, we have combined these materials in a way that wicks away more than 900ml of liquid, and traps it in our highly absorbent core with a dual seal system to draw moisture away from your babies skin. Non-GMO corn starch, 100% Organic Cotton and FSC Certified Wood Pulp are the cornerstones of our incredible nappies.

Our nappies are routinely independently tested to ensure they are free from all harmful chemicals and compounds, including PFAS, chlorine, fragrances, alcohol, parabens, phenols, pesticides, formaldehyde, carcinogenic and allergenic dyes and pthalates - protecting your mini from rashes, irritation, and discomfort.

As much as a wetness indicator can be a helpful tool for a new parent, we do not include these in our nappies for good reason.

At this time, there is no chemical-free way to include a wetness indicator as they contain dyes that may be harmful to your baby, which is the primary reason Ecoriginals does not use one.

Our nappies include FSC Certified Wood Pulp, Compostable non-GMO Corn Starch, Tissue Paper and Certified Organic Cotton sourced from the United States, China and Japan. These raw materials are then consolidated and shipped to our New Zealand partner factory in China where our nappies are assembled and packaged into 100% Compostable Rice Paper packaging.

At this time, China is the only country that has the technology and capabilities to produce our premium eco nappies to the standards we require. Our partner factory are BRC Certified ensuring that our ethical production of goods and compliance standards are met.

Utilising our unique ultra absorbent Plantcell Technology™ Core, our nappies have a tried and tested absorbency of up to 900ml of liquid which is proven to keep your baby dry for up to 12 hours.

Our nappies also boast a 3D leak guard around the leg which helps minimise blow outs and leakage while providing a comfortable snug fit.

Please refer to our Pack Quantities description for a comprehensive overview of how long each size nappy pack may last you.

In general, a 6 Pack of Nappies will last you 3-4 weeks. This depends on your daily use but is calculated based on 8-6 changes per day. For newborns, you may need up to 8 changes per day, while for larger sizes, daily changes decrease to about 4-6 as your baby grows and less for the Junior Pants.

Based on our degradation testing, 93% of our nappy had completely biodegraded post use within a 3 month time frame. The remaining 7% being our tabs, cuffs and part of the frontal tape that for the time being require PE (polyethylene) for strength and flexibility did not degrade. We continue to work with our supply chain to reimagine a 100% biodegradable nappy and have a target of 2027 to achieve this.
