WATER CONSUMPTION DYE PROCESS

Water is the most valuable resource on the planet. From maintaining ecosystems to nourishing and sustaining our bodies, it is essential to the long-term survival of humans and the planet. With less than 1% of the Earth’s water available to us, it is critical that we limit our water usage in everything that we do.

Standard material dye processes use anywhere from 25 to 40 gallons of water per every two pounds of fabric. To us, this is unacceptable. At POTN we commit to lowering our carbon footprint by reducing overall water consumption in every part of our manufacturing process. From the materials we source to the way we dye our bags, limited water usage is our top priority.

POTN’s Commitment to Recycled Materials

Recycling is in our foundation. We believe in using recycled materials whenever possible in all of our products. 

With over 70 million single-use water bottles used each day in America alone, we knew we had to make a difference when it came to creating products that we needed and the environment loved. Don’t take it from us though, the proof is in the bag. 

Each POTN diaper bag we produce is made from 14 to 19 recycled plastic bottles. Talk about making a direct impact on saving the environment! 

We want you to feel great about making a safe and more sustainable choice when it comes to parenting essentials. Not only are you supporting the environment, but you are also extending the life of our planet for your children.
