Thirsties® line of cloth diapers were launched by Erin Kimmet in an ongoing effort to offer quality diapers at affordable prices. Erin's mission is to make it easy and affordable for every family to choose cloth. She are very proud of the fact that all of our products are now USA made by a group of very talented women many of whom work in the comfort and convenience of their own homes. Thirsties® uses only the best of US sourced components to ensure your diapers will last wash after wash and provide the very best in comfort and leakproof cloth diapering.
What makes Thirsties® GREEN? In addition to offering a green consumer product, they strive to keep the carbon footprint of their business to a minimum. Here is how they do it...
Packaging materials are recycled and new packaging is made from the highest post-consumer content available.
Printing is done on recycled paper with 100% post-consumer content.
The office and packing/shipping space is heated by solar hot air collectors and supplemented by a pellet stove on cloudy days.
Luckily it is sunny in this part of Colorado 325 days of the year, and the average high temperature in the winter is 50F (11C) so they only need to use about 1/4 ton pellets each winter.
The 1000 sq ft overstock area is heated with strategically placed southern exposure windows to allow for passive solar.
Only high-efficiency Energy Star rated compact fluorescent light bulbs are used.
Lights are turned off when rooms are not in use and they shut down all computers and components completely at the end of each day.
All fabric and components are sourced as locally as possible thereby cutting down on unnecessary transportation.
They choose fabrics that dry quickly and remain soft even when hung to dry to encourage our customers to retire their dryers.
All cutting and sewing is done in Colorado so as to keep transport carbon to a minimum.
