Cloth Nappies vs Disposable Nappies

Thinking of replacing disposable nappies with cloth nappies?

There are a range of environmental, financial and health benefits associated with using reusable nappies.

On average, a child will use 6000 disposable nappies before they are toilet trained.
Babies require around 500 nappy changes just in their first 6 weeks of life.
5.6 million disposable nappies* are used each day in Australia.
This adds up to more than 2 billion nappies per year. (*2009 IBIS World Australia report).

Halve Waste have a collection of reusable items including cloth nappies that are demonstrated at our cloth nappy workshops. We offer free information and guidance on how to choose and use cloth nappies and can also demonstrate directly to residents on request.

Our Cloth Nappy Rebate Program offers Halve Waste residents the opportunity to access financial assistance in support for using cloth nappies.

Halve Waste residents can receive back half of the cost of cloth nappies up to the value of $100 per household. Example: Spend $200, receive $100 rebate. Halve Waste residents may receive half of the cost on reusable Nappy products back up to the value of $100. Minimum spend of $50. Example: Spend $50, receive $25 rebate.
