Towards ecologically and socially resilient food systems

figure 1. Triodos' Conceptual model of sustainable food systems

Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund believe that food and agriculture systems should deliver healthy nutrition for all, without damaging the natural systems they depend on, and deliver inclusive prosperity for those active in the food and agriculture chain.

The portfolio companies the fund invests in must contribute to these pillars – balanced ecosystems, healthy society, and inclusive prosperity – that contribute together to ecologically and socially resilient food systems. Naty's contribution is shown below.

 

Naty’s contribution to Balanced ecosystems

  • Naty sold over 93 million eco diapers, 1.9 million wet wipes (consumer packages) and 1.1 million natural care products (consumer packages). 
  • Naty’s diapers consist of 53% renewable materials. 30% of the diapers are made of FSC certified wood pulp which can biodegrade within three to six months in industrial composting plants. Standard diapers on the market are largely made using oil-based materials and can take around 500 years to decompose in landfill.
  • Naty’s diapers do not include chemicals used by conventional diaper manufacturers, so their products do not leach nasty chemicals even if decomposing in landfills. 
  • The wet wipes are 100% biodegradable and suitable for home composting.
  • Naty contributed to averting 2618 tons of waste in 2020 thanks to these unique product components.
  • More than 60% of the packaging of ‘Eco by Naty’ and Naty Wipes are made from renewable materials, such as sugarcane plastic which can be recycled. 
  • Naty holds the following certifications: OK biobased TUV Austria, OK compost TUV Austria, Ecocert, Vegan-label, Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label. The pulp in the diapers is FSC certified.

  • All Naty products are free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, PABA and DEA which helps to avoid allergies and toxins.
