Calls for reusable nappy scheme in Scotland that could save parents £1400 a year

A Labour MSP is calling for Scotland-wide free access to reusable nappy schemes in a bid to help families reduce their bills.

Households could save an estimated £1400 by switching from single-use to reusable nappies, Monica Lennon said.

Just five local authorities in Scotland currently offer reusable nappy schemes.

Lennon said: “It’s great that some councils in ­Scotland are championing reusable nappies but with a little extra support from the Scottish Government, everyone could benefit from access to free or low-cost schemes.”

The Central Scotland MSP made the call ahead of Reusable Nappy Week, which begins today.
