Packaging Matters at Nest Diapers:
The worldwide awareness and concern of the effects of plastic packaging on the environment require action by each of us.
This necessitates seeking alternatives that are safe and less harmful to the environment. The Nest Diaper bag uses paper and a thin film of oriented polypropylene (OPP) resulting in an environmentally friendly, recyclable, strong moisture-proof, bag that reduces the impact of plastic on the environment.
