About EcoAble
EcoAble is a family-run business making reusable cloth diapers for babies, older kids with special needs, and adults, along with organic merino wool clothing for the whole family. We've been at this since 2012, and everything we sell is something we'd use ourselves.
How EcoAble started
EcoAble started in 2012 when we became parents and couldn't find cloth diapers that met our standards. The options at the time were limited, the quality was inconsistent, and nothing felt designed with real daily use in mind. So we made our own.
What began as a small line of baby cloth diapers grew as parents reached out asking for the same quality in larger sizes — first for older kids with special needs, then for adults managing incontinence. Those conversations shaped the business. Most of what we sell today exists because a customer asked for it.
Along the way we added organic merino wool clothing and blankets, working with established European manufacturers — Engel, Disana, and Reiff — whose standards matched ours.
What we make
Two product categories, both focused on reusable and natural alternatives to disposable or synthetic options.
Who our products are for
We make products for three groups who often have trouble finding what they need elsewhere.
How and where we manufacture
Transparency about how products are made matters, especially for anything that touches skin or gets washed hundreds of times. Here's what we can tell you.
Our cloth diapering products are manufactured in China in factories we've worked with for years. Safety standards for materials meet or exceed the requirements for products intended for infants and sensitive skin. Workers receive fair wages, paid time off, and reasonable hours. We visit in person periodically.
We chose China because the specialized sewing skill required for fitted diapers and complex diaper covers is concentrated there. Moving production wouldn't change the ethical picture — it would just change which country the work happens in — and we'd rather stick with partners we know.
All our wool apparel comes from European manufacturers. Engel (Germany), Disana (Germany), and Reiff (Germany) are GOTS-certified or hold equivalent third-party certifications covering organic fiber sourcing, chemical use, and labor conditions. These are multigenerational family businesses; some of them have been making wool clothing the same way since the 1920s.
