History / About Us

    People say that necessity is the Mother of all invention.... it couldn't be more true!  When Zoë and her newborn first moved to Peterborough, she planned on using a diaper service.  Only problem was.... there was none.  So Zoë decided to buy cloth and wash at home.  Alas, a new problem... no business in Peterborough sold prefold cloth diapers!  As you can guess... the rest is history.  In the short two and a half years that Changing Ways has been in business, Zoë has already won the 2006 Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce 'Green Award,' been a finalist for the 2007 Chamber 'Environmental Practices Award,' and kept over 94000 (yes, that says ninety-four thousand!) diapers out of our local landfills.  That's about 23 tonnes of waste!
