They reduce the initial cost and encourage more households to opt for more environmentally friendly solutions.

Who offers this financial assistance?

Subsidies for cloth diapers can come from several sources:

• Local authorities: some town halls or regional councils offer financial assistance for families opting for washable diapers.
• Environmental initiatives: National or regional programs encourage the use of zero waste solutions.
