Who are we?
I'm working in partnership with ChinaFreeMama to make a list of products (mostly baby/child oriented) made ethically and safely (though I confess that my bias is safety after the recent revelations of lead paint in toys and ethylene glycol in toothpaste). Check back regularly. I am based in Canada and look for products made in Canada.
Diaper Covers, Diapers, etc.
Bummis says this on their website:
"As a company we feel a deep and abiding responsibility to our employees and to our community. We have made a commitment to never manufacture in a so-called "developing" country, although our costs would be lower and our prices even more competitive. Instead we pay our sewers well for a job well done. We have created a calm and pleasant atmosphere in our factory, one in which we all love to work. Our outside contractors are paid a living wage, and treated with the respect they deserve. Not only is this what we believe as managers and business owners, but it makes sense in the long run because our employees and contractors are the strong base of our success."
We use their diaper covers and can attest to the quality of the product.
