Green Bottoms Ltd

🎉 BIG NEWS 🎉 We’re finalists for SME of the Year in the 2025 edie Awards! 🌍 We’ve spent 15 years tackling the challenge of 8 million nappies hitting UK landfills daily. Partnering with leading nursery groups, we’ve introduced waste-to-energy solutions, eco-friendly products, and groundbreaking recycling programs, proving that small businesses can drive big change for a greener, fairer future. Thank you to our team and partners for making this possible💚 And huge congratulations to all the finalists. #TeamGB #edieAwards

The guys at London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) believe in providing outstanding childcare to all children, regardless of circumstance. So that's what they do, day in and day out at 40 nurseries across 12 London boroughs. They're lovely, inspiring people and its such an important mission that impacts so many children and families every year. It's humbling but I'm also just really proud that we've built our business to a level where we can start helping in a small way, so we're providing free nappies and wipes for a year to 2 LEYF nurseries in areas of particularly high deprivation, so that parents and carers can have one less thing to worry about. Thank you to the folks at the excellent Nursery Management Today for covering the story and this is the sort of initiative that Simon Hunt and I are most passionate about, hopefully we can do a lot more in the future. https://lnkd.in/eKwwFDVs

Anyone else starting to think about 2025 yet? 🤔 It feels like 2024’s flown by, and we’re already dreaming big for the year ahead! But before we start sharing our plans for the future, we couldn’t help but reflect on the incredible milestones we’ve reached this year. Thanks to our amazing team and the support of our fantastic customers and partners, we’ve achieved some big wins: 🌍 Recycled 100,000 nappies ♻️ 🧻 Avoided 10 million plastic wipes 🚗 Cut 2.2 tonnes of CO2e 💨 Here’s to an even greener 2025 for the #EarlyYears sector 🌱✨

🎉 Hurrah! We’ve hit a fantastic milestone in our nappy recycling trial 💪   100,000 dirty nappies have been collected and recycled, thanks to our amazing partnership with Mypura NappiCycle and Bristol Waste Company.   🌱♻️ It’s incredible to see nappy waste being turned into resources that can be used in our everyday lives.   To everyone taking part – our dedicated customers and the incredible families – we couldn’t have done it without you. Your efforts are driving real change, and we’re only just getting started. 🚚   Let’s keep the momentum going!   #TeamGB

Did you know we’ve worked with the incredible Childbase Partnership Ltd for 14 years? And together, we’ve diverted over 1,949 tonnes of nappy and sanitary waste from landfill.   That’s enough nappies to pave the way from the Childbase HQ in Newport Pagnell to Quebec 😲   Excited to see where the next 14 years take us 💚   #TeamGB

🩲 60,000 nappies recycled so far in our groundbreaking trial! That’s 60,000 nappies which have been diverted from landfill to be turned into all sorts of useful things. It’s all down to our customers, our partners, and families in Bristol, who've committed to making a positive change. Together, we're showing that nappy recycling is a viable option for us here in England. Thank you 💚

Huge congratulations to our customer Acorn Early Years on winning Nursery Group of the Year 2024 at tonight's Nursery World awards. Nearly 15 years ago Acorn were one of the first groups to appreciate our vision and we are as proud to serve them today as we were then. Enjoy the celebrations!

A real privilege to be interviewed by Nursery World, covering our social impact partnerships with the incredible London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), Childbase Partnership Ltd & Baby Basics UK - purpose-driven organisations that I have so much respect & admiration for - and our ground-breaking Nappy Recycling trial with Mypura Bristol Waste Company & NappiCycle which sees us recycling used nappies from nursery groups like N Family Club Childbase Partnership Ltd Ashbourne Day Nurseries & Nursery Village as well as hundreds of families in the Bristol area. A busy year, much to be thankful for and lots to be getting on with! https://lnkd.in/eEzDdYQE
