In the UK there are a number of options from Nature Baby, which is available in supermarkets, and Tushies, available at some branches of Boots to Moltex and others avialable at health food and specialist shops.
Of course the best route to take is going for real nappies / diapers. Read Nappies the dilemma to read our discussion. Or see some of the other articles and links.

We use cloth diapers. On occasion we use disposables, for example when we are on vacation or away from home for a long time. The disposables we use are from a company called Tendercare. They are non chlorine bleached.
As Jane posted, there is some great info on the nappies the dilemma. I posted there also the other day. :)

In the United States there are a few companies that put out "friendlier" disposables. Check out Seventh Generation, Nature Boy & Girl and TenderCare Plus. They're not perfect but a little better than the Pampers option.

I have to agree that disposables are never going to be a perfect option, but at least there are better alternatives such as all of those listed above. Unfortunately although many say they diodegrade, this wont happen in landfill because they are too tightly compressed... they'll decompose in the home composter though! (Not sure I can quite cope with that prospect though, and I had a nappy bucket around for 2 years)
