New Ecological Maternity Package for 2009
KelaKela, the Social Security Institution of Finland, has published its new maternity package. This time the contents of the package have been chosen from an ecological range of products, which can be seen even in its outer packaging. The box in which the baby supplies are delivered to the new families is also functional as a first cradle. It is made of 100 percent polyester, of which 63 percent is recycled material produced from disposable plastic bottles.
Disposable nappies have been discarded from the package altogether. The package contains only washable cloth and muslin nappies. The baby clothing are mostly made of natural materials. For instance the socks and mittens are made of bamboo. Most of the clothing is made of 100 percent cotton.
The new maternity packages will be available in April, when Kela will have cleared out its last year's stock.
