How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Little plastic

Microplastic shedding and leaching Doesn't shed
None; 100% plant fibres, unlike plastic-blend wipes
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Plastic-free fibre; check the pack for plastic-free lid. Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Low concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.
Transparency and verification Mostly disclosed
Full material disclosure; EWG Verified

About Coterie

Coterie makes premium diapers, wipes, and baby skincare, built around a promise of clean, ultra-soft, high-performing products and transparency about how they are made. The company runs donation programs that have given millions of essentials to families in need.

Coterie is EWG Verified, confirmed in the Environmental Working Group's own registry, meaning it meets that program's ingredient-safety and disclosure standards, and it states its plant-based materials are FSC certified, though that supplier claim is not matched to a specific license. It is one of the more expensive mainstream diapers, and because the diapers are disposable and not compostable, clean here means ingredient safety and sourcing rather than zero waste.
