The Nappy Gurus: National nappy incentive scheme
Welcome to the National Reusable Nappy Incentive Scheme, provided by The Nappy Gurus. A number of regional council authorities provide vouchers, cashback or kit incentives to encourage residents to move away from disposable nappies, but these are not available in every region, and their availability varies widely. Our 2022 Great Big Nappy Census found that 86% of parents would use an incentive to give reusables a try, so we wanted to help bridge that gap, enabling parents to access an incentive, regardless of their postcode.
Why should I switch & save?
We know that reusable nappies are not only a sounder environmental choice, but they are also kinder to your budget; and our incentive programme makes them even more so! When you make the switch to reusable nappies you will save money and help to save the planet too.
- Save Money? By the time your child is out of nappies, you will have spent almost £1200 on single use nappies, bags and wipes. In contrast, we know that reusable nappy parents typically spend under £300 in total for their reusable nappies and accessories. If you are concerned about washing costs and want to find out more you can check out our cost analysis here.
- Save The Planet? Not only are disposables a huge financial burden, they are also a huge waste of resources. A child in disposable nappies will generate almost 900kg of nappy waste during their first two years of infancy, and these nappies take many hundreds of years to degrade. The stark reality is that every disposable nappy ever made that has ended up in landfill, will still be there today. Even switching one nappy a day to a reusable nappy will save 365 from landfill every single year!
How does the Nappy Incentive Scheme help?
The National Nappy Incentive Scheme, from The Nappy Gurus, is helping parents to make the switch to reusable nappies as simple as possible. Our scheme gives you the opportunity to access one of FOUR incentive pack options, as listed below, which will give you a chance to try reusable nappies at a subsided rate.
