Delipap – Moomin (Rights & Brands)
The company behind Moomin baby diapers, Delipap, was founded in the 1970s with the aim of producing diapers that are friendly to children’s skin. The founder of the company came up with a new kind of diaper made of crushed paper and opened the first diaper factory. Delipap started working with Moomin 30 years ago when they asked the creator, Tove Jansson, if they could use Moomin on their product. Delipap uses all its years of experience to make the best diapers possible and as environmentally sustainable as possible. This means using only the purest and safest raw materials sourced responsibly and manufactured with renewable energy. Since 2021, domestic Moomin Baby diapers are 100% carbon neutral. Delipap is still constantly engineering its diapers to minimize its CO2 footprint and compensates the remaining amount by favoring Gold Standard-certified projects under the UN Climate Neutral Now program.

Recycle to Read x Tesco
Hasbro and Tesco joined forces with leading not-for-profit environmental educational company, Wastebuster, to trial a new in-store campaign that turned broken plastic toys into books and reading resources for U.K. schools as part of the Recycle to Read campaign. The trial encouraged children and families to recycle their broken, hard plastic toys via toy recycling bins placed in select Tesco stores. Backed by Hasbro, the initiative aimed to drive a circular solution for unwanted or broken plastic toys with families first encouraged to rehome toys through giving to friends, families, schools, or local charities. Broken toys were able to be recycled in Tesco stores where they were collected and turned into plastic pellets to create new items including coat hangers, chairs, and coffee machines. The recycled toys were registered for points and the 50 highest point-scoring schools in the area won vouchers to spend on a wide range of books.
