As part of Halve Waste’s campaign to reduce waste in landfill, Halve Waste is running a reusable menstrual product and cloth nappy rebate.
Residents living in the Halve Waste Council areas, including the Alpine Shire, are eligible for this rebate.
Cloth Nappies
There are a range of environmental, financial and health benefits associated with using reusable nappies.
- On average, a child will use 6000 disposable nappies before they are toilet trained.
- Babies require around 500 nappy changes just in their first 6 weeks of life.
- 5.6 million disposable nappies* are used each day in Australia.
- This adds up to more than 2 billion nappies per year. (*2009 IBIS World Australia report).

Reusable Menstrual Products
In Australia alone, that’s 18,000 tonnes of sanitary waste going to landfill every year. Switching to reusables is a striking example of how seemingly small personal choices can have a tremendous positive impact on our environment.
