How to Recycle your Mum & You Packaging

At Mum & You, we're big on doing our bit to keep our beautiful earth clean and clutter-free.

According to WRAP, almost 9 out of 10 of us are already recycling in the UK. But 55% of households still put items in the general rubbish that could be recycled. A statistic from Recycling Bins recycling facts states that of the 26m tonnes of waste produced in the UK, 12m tonnes are recycled, and 14m tonnes are sent to landfill sites. This gives us an average recycling rate of 45%.

It takes less energy and fewer emissions to recycle than to make things from scratch, which is why recycling saves a total of 18 million tonnes of CO2 a year in the UK - Wrap.org.uk

Here at Mum & You, cutting plastic and waste is part of who we are.

We're constantly reviewing our products to cut plastic and waste, such as launching the UK's first baby wet wipes to come in fully recyclable packaging.

Our Premium Performance Nappies are designed with a soft as cotton core – made using wood pulp from PEFC-certified forests. They are free from dyes, lotions and latex and are super soft on baby's bottom. Our packaging is 100% recyclable with 30% recycled content

Our plant based, plastic free wipes contain 99.4% water for ultimate kindness to babies’ skin. The wipes are made from naturally derived viscose (from PEFC-certified wood pulp) - a special material made from the most abundant and renewable wood fibre on Earth. We're really proud to have moved our wipes packaging into a 100% recyclable wrap.

Both our nappies and wipes are PEFC Certified meaning that they are produced from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources.

How can you recycle your Mum & You packaging?

Both our nappy packaging and our wipes packaging can be recycled with carrier bags and soft plastics at larger stores such as supermarkets.

Our Gus the Bus delivery boxes are 100% recyclable too, but that's only if you can get your little one out of it!
