We begin burning through plastic from an incredibly young age – in fact, it starts when we’re only a matter of hours old. From the bottles we feed from, to the nappies we go to the toilet in, plastic is there for us from day one – so is it really any wonder that we’ve become so dependent on it? Welcoming a new life into the world is a fun and exciting time, but if you don’t want your baby’s waste to add to the ever-growing mound of plastic that pollutes our planet, you may want to look for alternatives.
