How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging 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 shedding and leaching Sheds some
Bamboo-viscose surface; absorbent core uses a polymer
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Plant-based fibre; optional compost service. Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern No leaching concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.
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
  • Free of chlorine, latex, and PVC
  • FSC-certified pulp; delivery emissions offset via Cool Effect

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
