How this score breaks down

Plastic chemicals that leach from the material No leaching concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.
Plastic in the item itself Some plastic
A diaper with a bamboo-viscose top sheet and a wood-pulp absorbent core. Like all disposables, the core uses a superabsorbent polymer and the waterproof layer is a thin plastic film; it is free of chlorine, latex, and PVC.
Microplastic and microfibre shedding Doesn't shed
Bamboo-viscose surface; absorbent core uses a polymer
End of life and packaging Mixed materials
Plant-based fibre; optional compost service
Transparency and verification Partly disclosed
Free-of list stated; full bill of materials not public

Strengths

  • Bamboo viscose surface instead of an all-plastic diaper

Trade-offs

  • Like all disposables, the absorbent core uses a superabsorbent polymer
  • A full plastic-free bill of materials is not published, so confidence is partial
  • Cloth diapers remain the lowest-plastic option
