Interactive map of available aid

Click on your department to view existing schemes and check your eligibility in seconds.

Why do these forms of assistance exist?

French communities are encouraging the switch to washable nappies in order to reduce waste and support families.

Disposable nappies represent almost a ton of non-recyclable waste per child, a significant cost for municipalities and a major environmental issue.

By financially supporting the purchase of washable nappies, municipalities are participating in an approach that is both eco-responsible and economical, while promoting more sustainable consumption.

What types of assistance are offered?

Depending on the region, several forms of assistance may exist:

a partial refund, up to 50% of the amount spent, with a limit generally between €100 and €300

Free starter kits, often given out after an information workshop on using washable nappies.

vouchers that can be used with partner manufacturers or retailers.

How can I benefit from it?

The procedures vary from one community to another, but the process is most often based on:

a residence in a municipality offering a subsidy

the provision of a named invoice and proof of address

a birth certificate or a pregnancy certificate

Sometimes, participation in a preliminary information workshop.

Why take advantage of financial assistance?

A grant of between €100 and €200 allows the initial investment to be quickly recouped.

Over the course of use, a family can save more than €1,500, while reducing the volume of waste generated by a factor of ten.

Washable nappies made with OEKO-TEX Class 1 certified fabrics guarantee comfort, breathability and safety for baby's skin, without harmful substances or endocrine disruptors.
