Changing nappies
Do you have or are expecting a baby and want to be more sustainable? We need your help to develop best-practice reusable nappy programs, alongside 11 other Victorian councils.
Share your nappy preference and changing experiences via a short survey – whether you’ve only used disposable nappies, tried reusable nappies and decided they aren’t for you, or you’re a reusable nappy loyalist!
Your insights will inform research into a best practice reusable nappy program to help new parents care for their baby and the environment by reducing household waste that ends up in landfill.
Survey closes 21 February 2022.
