Responsibility is the sum of many factors for diaper makers

Moomin Baby diapers are completely chlorine-free, which makes them suitable for energy waste and incineration, as they do not emit harmful emissions into the atmosphere. It is not recommended to dispose of chlorinated diapers by incineration, as incineration can produce toxic gases. However, not all incinerators accept any diapers, as some of our competitors still use chlorine-bleached diapers. We therefore recommend that you ask the incinerator in your area about their policy and whether they accept non-chlorinated diapers for incineration.

You can also dispose of Moomin Baby diapers in the normal way with mixed waste. Whichever way you dispose of Moomin Baby diapers, we can say that our diapers are an environmentally responsible choice among other disposable diapers. We have designed the life cycle of our diapers to have the least possible impact on the environment. The main raw material for Moomin Baby diapers is degradable cellulose, made from domestic FSC-certified forests. We also try to always choose Nordic raw material manufacturers and do not add any unnecessary chemicals such as fragrances or oils to our diapers.

Finished diapers are packed in a packaging bag made from 60% recycled plastic, which you can sort for plastic recycling. Moomin Baby diapers are also made in Finland, so trips from factory to store shelf are short. We want to leave a clean and beautiful nature for future generations.

FSC®, the Forest Stewardship Council, is the world’s first international forest certification system that promotes environmentally sound and responsible forest management. The FSC® certification for Moomin Baby diapers is one of our contributions to sustainable development, social responsibility and responsible forest management.

The main raw material for all Moomin Baby diapers is FSC®-certified cellulose from FSC®-certified Finnish coniferous forests. Domestic forestry does not use chemical pesticides such as glyphosate to control water bugs so the cellulose used in our diapers is safe for your baby. This means that, like responsible forestry, new trees are grown to replace the ones that have been cut down. By choosing Moomin Baby diapers, you are helping to protect the biodiversity of northern forests. Read more about the FSC® on their website.

The Key Flag is a sign that products are made in Finland and employ Finnish workers. The Key Flag is a registered Community trademark and it reliably proves that the product is Finnish. Moomin Baby diapers are the only Finnish diapers and are manufactured in Finland’s only diaper factory in Tammisaari, Southern Finland. By favouring finnish sourcing, you create jobs in Finland and minimise emissions from transport, among other things. Choosing our product is therefore a responsible act.

The Allergy Label can be awarded by the Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation to impartial, tested and safe baby diapers. The label guarantees that the products are safe and meet strict product-specific criteria. Allergy-labelled baby diapers must not contain any fragrances, scents or other easily irritating or sensitising substances. Moomin Baby diapers are hypoallergenic and suitable for babies with sensitive skin.

The criteria for the Nordic Swan ecolabel are based on the life cycle of the product, from raw material selection to product disposal. The purpose of the Nordic Swan ecolabel is to ensure that the product is environmentally responsible, taking into account the production process, product use and waste management. The Nordic Swan ecolabel has set precise and strict criteria on what the diapers can contain and what can be added during the production process. Swan-ecolabelled products must not contain any substances that are harmful to the consumer’s health or the environment. The materials used in the diapers must also be produced with minimum emissions without harming the environment. Swan-ecolabelled products must not contain any unnecessary added chemicals such as creams or perfumes. Find out more about the Nordic Swan ecolabel criteria here.

During our production process, no landfill waste is generated and all waste is recycled or incinerated for new energy. Furthermore, the production of Moomin Baby diapers does not result in any harmful emissions to air or water. We only use solar energy and certified hydro-electricity. These renewable energy sources do not emit any carbon emissions into the environment. We at Moomin Baby want to ensure a clean environment for future generations, which is why our diapers are now 100% carbon neutral. Read more about our sustainability credentials. We also use the heat generated in the production process to heat the production hall. Moomin Baby diapers are also made in Finland, making trips from factory to store shelves and homes much shorter. Also, remember to wean your baby from diapers sooner rather than later. This is important for both the baby’s skin and the environmental impact of the diapers.

Moomin Baby diapers differ from a regular disposable diaper in many ways, except for their absorbency. The biggest differences are, for example, the choice of raw materials, as all diapers are made from many different materials. The raw materials used in Moomin Baby diapers are carefully selected and meet the criteria of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation. The source of energy used in the production process also distinguishes eco-diaper manufacturing from regular diaper manufacturing. We use only solar energy and certified hydroelectric power to make Moomin Baby diapers – these renewable energy sources do not emit any carbon emissions. The heat generated in the production process is used to heat the production hall. The third major difference is the management of production waste; none of the waste from our production goes to landfill, all waste is recycled or incinerated for energy.

Moomin Baby diapers are manufactured taking into account the whole life cycle of the product from an environmental point of view, from the production of raw materials to the production of the diapers, the energy sources used, wholesale logistics and waste management. We are proud to say that Moomin Baby diapers are 100% carbon neutral. You can read more about our sustainability credentials here.
