Yes it is, there is a train of thought that to wash nappies is more
beneficial than disposable and there is a nappy washing service offered,
hence the coupons - I'm keeping out of this part!
With regard to the Direct Marketing, if I used nappies and got coupons
then I would not object to being 'advised' of a presentation. Surely, A
sense of balance is needed here and a polite letter saying "we thought
you may wish to know that there is a presentation etc etc" is better
than saying nothing. So, somebody complains - that's what life is all
about!
I personally would have a word with the dept and make sure the wording
is nice and friendly.

I suspect that the main purpose of this event is not to market for
others but to reduce landfill. Am I right? Many councils promote the use
of real nappies to this end. Question is...do they have a statutory
requirement to do so and would they therefore be exempt?

I think we need more information on the terms associated with the cash
back on the nappies, as they may allow for some sort of follow-up.
Another question would be; has your organisation Notified for
'Advertising marketing and public relations for others'. If not, your
marketing would not be lawful.
