No, Bambo Nature diapers are not biodegradable. The diapers contain bio-based materials like fluff from wood pulp, but they also contain non-degradable plastic materials. These non-degradable materials are some of the key components of the diaper that ensure a high performance and keep your baby dry and comfortable.

The bio-based material in Bambo Nature diapers is fluff from wood pulp. Our Bambo Nature diapers always contain more than 30% bio-based material (the precise percentage varies with size).

We carefully select all raw materials and ingredients that go into the making of our diapers. We only use ingredients approved according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, which means that they are safe for your baby and chosen with care for the environment.

Key components are made from different types of plastics like SAP, PE, and PP; these are common and safe medical grade plastics developed for the health-care industry. These materials are what keep your baby dry and they are all approved by the strict Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Our disposable diapers are carefully designed to keep your baby dry, healthy, and comfortable while affecting the environment as little as possible.

We continuously work on innovating our diapers. We do so by trying to reduce the amount of non-degradable ingredients. We also search for and test more sustainable alternatives that can help us reduce the plastic content in our diapers – without compromising on quality and performance. 

All ingredientsand materials in our diapers are approved according to the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The symbol is your guarantee that we use the best possible ingredients for our diapers and that we do not use any substances known to be harmful to your baby’s health or the environment. 

No, Bambo Nature diapers should be disposed of together with your household waste. The diapers are not organic waste, since the only bio-based material in the diaper is the fluff in the absorbent core. The other raw-materials in the diapers are not bio-based and will not decompose in nature. Never dispose of anything in your home compost heap unless the product is equipped with a home compost symbol. 😊

Some countries have specific waste or recycling systems for used diapers. Check with your local authorities.

We do everything we can to make sure that the production of our baby diapers affects the environment as little as possible, without compromising on performance or comfort.

• Our diapers are made in Denmark on energy-optimized machines where 100% of the electricity consumption is covered by renewable energy certificates.

Like most other disposable products in the world,  diapers have an overall negative effect on the environment. We are very aware about this and do everything we can to ensure that our diapers are produced with as much care for the environment as they can possibly be. We thoroughly select our raw materials and ingredients and we use as few materials as possible. Our raw materials and ingredients are constantly checked and they are certified according to some of the world’s strictest certification agencies like the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Furthermore, 100% of our electricity consumption in our Danish production site is covered by renewable energy certificates and since 2009, we have reduced our total CO2 emissions* by 62.1 %.  

Yes, if you dispose of the diapers correctly with your household waste. In most countries, the diaper waste ends up at waste disposal sites where it is burned and turned into new energy like heat or electricity.

However, some countries have specific waste or recycling systems for used diapers. Check with your local authorities to learn if this is the case where you live.

The last step of the baby diaper life cycle is to dispose of the used diaper responsibly. For some countries, this means sorting it in a separate diaper waste recycling system. For most countries however, the diaper is disposed of together with the normal household waste. This is also called residual waste and it is the part of your household waste that is not recycled.

Residual waste ends up at the municipal waste disposal site, where most of it is burned and turned into new energy like heat or electricity. The share of residual waste that is turned into new energy varies from country to country.

Our Danish production site is ISO50001 certified. This means that we have an energy management system, verified by a third party, and that we continuously work with energy optimization. Today, 100% of our electricity consumption is covered by renewable energy certificates. Since 2009, we have reduced total CO2 emissions* by 62.1 %.

*CO2 emissions cover electricity, gas and oil and are calculated based on Energinet's and the Danish Energy Agency's standard factors. Calculations of kWh electricity to kg CO2 are based on Energinet's Environmental Declaration. Calculations from l oil and kg gas to kg CO2 are based on the Danish Energy Agency's standards for calorific values and emission factors.

Bambo Nature diapers size 5 + 6 and the Dreamy Night Pants bear the CE mark and are classified as medical devices, according to European laws (EU/2017/745 MDR). These are our larger sizes, and they could also be used by physically or mentally disabled children, as well as others, who are diagnosed with incontinence. The only differences between the CE marked diapers and the diapers intended for younger babies and toddlers, are the sizes and intended/possible use.
