SNAPPIES

It is estimated that nearly 100 million disposable diapers are used each year in Brussels. Faced with this fact, two Brussels residents founded Snappies.
Snappies is the project of Aymeric and Maximilien. The two entrepreneurs have been offering washable diapers for rent to Brussels daycare centers since December 2020.

The company offers a complete service from delivery and pick-up to cleaning of the diapers.

A small green revolution that the two entrepreneurs wish to spread to other day-care centers in Brussels.
