Tackling Ireland’s Disposable Nappy Problem: Not just a baby issue. 

We were delighted to recently be featured in the “Climate Changemakers” series in the Independent, highlighting the growing movement of innovators working to reduce waste and build more sustainable systems. Thank you to Aisling Maria Cronin for reaching out to us.

The article focuses on EcoKinly founder Kate Doyle and the mission behind the brand: tackling the enormous environmental impact of disposable hygiene waste and bringing reusable options into mainstream retail.

Challenging Conversations Ahead

In the article we highlight the increasing requests from families of autistic child, children with complex needs and disabled adult children for reusable hygiene products. With population inversion the demand for adult nappies and incontinence wear is quickly going to outstrip the demand for baby nappies. This will pose a challenging question for waste streams into the future. 

Being featured in the Independent is a proud moment for EcoKinly and a reminder that the small business can spark national conversation around waste and sustainability is changing.

Every parent who chooses reusable products is helping reduce waste, challenge outdated systems, and build a more circular future for family care.

And at EcoKinly, we’re just getting started.
