Many people wonder what happens to Gently nappies in landfill where the conditions are variable and not the same as industrial composting conditions. We decided to test this out and placed a Gently Insert in the ground for 6 months. There was no turning of the soil or addition of other materials that might speed up the biodegradation. So really kind of a worst case scenario. As you can see from the attached pictures there was almost nothing left after 6 months! 
We were delighted that Lismore Council had such great coverage of their Gently launch. Two local papers and even the NBN news.

This weekend apparently, it will be covered in the sunday papers. Here’s hoping that the other councils follow the lead of Lismore and Ballina.
We just heard from one of the councils in NSW that our composting trial was a great success. We are meeting with them next week to discuss and plan for how we can get Gently Inserts into their
green bins. This is the first step towards a real zero waste solution! We’ll post more details next week.
Several of our retail partners have asked me about Gently Inserts. Are they bleached? NO, definitely not. We use no perfumes or bleach when they are manufactured. This is why the bamboo layer is slightly cream coloured rather than bright white which you may be used to with conventional disposables. Do they contain Phthalates? A
good question and the answer is NO. Actually Phthalates are used in certain plastics to soften them and they can be hazardous if ingested by kids. Whilst this is not really a risk with nappies, the answer is that there are no Phthalates in our product.
Well we have had many requests for a sample which we love. This shows how interested people are in our new product. Thanks to those who have filled in questionnaires as well. Your feedback is really helpful for us.
We had to take this down as there were so many requests for samples. The good news is this is back up and running now but
please remember this is a limited offer.
After many months of effort from people all around the world, Gently is available on Australian shelves. Gently represents a new approach to providing nappies for your baby. A lot of people have told us they would like to have a nappy alternative that is easier on the planet but they don”t want to comprom
ise on performance and they simply don”t want casino francais bonus to pay extra. Many have found slots reusables to be inconvenient and the upfront cost is often too high for them to risk it. We are hoping that Gently offers something for all these people. Let us know what you think?
