Why Chlorine Free Oxygen-Bleached Wood Pulp? (nappies top)
Before
disposables, mothers worked long and hard to keep their cloth nappies
nice and
white.
They used chlorine bleaches and boiling water.
The first
Moltex Eco nappies contained unbleached wood
pulp. The obvious off-white colour of the
nappy was unacceptable to many parents on aesthetic grounds, although
others saw it as
a 'statement' that the nappy was clearly eco friendly, and not just an
'ordinary' nappy.
However,
unbleached materials were made in small quantities, and so were more
expensive. Also,
there was a need to make the Eco Nappy more visually appealing.
Moltex
introduced oxygen bleached material to overcome objections. An added
benefit was
an improvement in absorbency over the traditional unbleached material.
So, more
parents found it easier to change to the Moltex Eco Nappy, and those who
did change, found the nappy to perform fantastically compared to
ordinary nappies and
to other eco-friendly products.
The Moltex
Eco Nappy continues to smell fresher for longer on the baby. Unlike some
ordinary nappies, a small amount of wetting does not make the Moltex
Eco Nappy
smell horrible, so you don't change nappies as often, saving money and
the environment.
