LOS ANGELES - Ecoriginals, the Australia-based manufacturer of plastic-neutral diapers and wipes is to expand into the United States market.
Ecoriginals' diapers are 90% plant-based and are said to be up to 40% more absorbent than standard disposable diapers.
Each actual layer in Ecoriginals' diapers is 100% plant-based, meaning everywhere that touches baby's skin is made from all natural materials. There are only two small areas around the tabs and leg cuffs that are not yet 100% natural - but the brand is tracking to design these out by 2023, creating the first-ever 100% eco diaper.
Ecoriginals diapers also arrive wrapped in 100% home compostable packaging.
"Since 2011, Ecoriginals has been a must-have for Australian parents as they do their best to navigate parenthood in an eco-friendly way," said Janice Clarke, Managing Director, Ecoriginals. "We are thrilled to bring the world's cleanest and greenest diaper to U.S. parents and do our bit to reduce the waste created by disposable diapers and wipes."
Ecoriginals' Plantcell diapers ensure that moisture is trapped away from skin in the central core leaving the diaper soft and gentle on delicate skin. They also have dry to touch natural layers to protect from rashes and irritation and breathable fibres which allow airflow from natural top sheet to natural back sheet.
The Ecoriginals' wipes 100% plant-based and completely compostable. Made from natural, soft bamboo, the wipes biodegrade in as little as three weeks, are manufactured in New Zealand using renewable energy, an include no alcohol, no chlorine, no phthalates or parabens.
