Waste Reduction

Disposable nappies take 300-500 years to decompose in landfill. Cloth nappies reduce your service’s environmental footprint and your waste disposal costs.

Early Years Learning Framework for Australia

Meet Learning Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world. We will provide you with doll nappies so you can incorporate cloth nappies into your curriculum, providing the children with access to natural materials rather than single-use plastics. This will develop their awareness of the impact of human activity on the environment.

National Quality Standards

Meet elements 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 of Quality Area 3 – Physical Environment. By utilising multiple-use equipment, you will demonstrate that your service cares for the environment and supports children to be environmentally responsible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What training and support do you provide to early learning centres?

Prior to commencing use of your MCNs, we will work with you to set up your business processes to enable success. On-site training will be provided on a weekly basis for up to four weeks from the commencement of your service. If you have any issues after this time, just give us a call or email. We can also conduct additional site visits upon request.

Is Conder House environmentally friendly?

Every business has an environmental footprint. We have processes in place that reduce it as much as possible. We only use bio-degradable chemicals. We have a solar system that is large enough to provide all of our daytime electricity usage, and we have ‘opted in’ for Carbon Neutral Gas. We also offer linen bags and nappy pail liners to clients to reduce the use of plastic bags. When using plastic bags and disposable gloves, we use Bio-Gone products, which biodegrade in landfills 90% faster, producing organic matter (a natural fertiliser) and no microplastics. Lastly, we have partnered with Textile Recyclers Australia so that decommissioned linen and nappies are recycled rather than sent to landfill.

How do you change the opinion of parents that think cloth nappies are unhygienic?

We find that in most cases education is the key. Once families understand that the nappies are being provided by a company that washes to hospital-grade standards, they usually come on board. We will work with your centre to educate families on the process. Unfortunately though, there are some families that you just can’t convince.

Do MCNs fit in with the nappy changing policy?

Fortunately, MCN use in early education aligns perfectly! MCNs need to be changed at least every two hours, which is consistent with early learning centre policies. In fact, you’ll find that the MCN processes put in place help to reinforce adherence to your policy as it’s very obvious when an MCN has been left on too long! We will work with you to adjust your routine to meet your policies.

What standard do you wash to?

Our operations are in accordance with Australian and New Zealand standards for Laundry Practice (AS/NZS 4146:2000).

Karen W, ACT

Started using Conder laundry & linen service a few weeks ago. I use the cloth nappies and couldn’t be more pleased! The nappies are easy to use, and soft around my 3 month olds legs and tummy.
