w hy use modern cloth nappies?
council’s aim is to divert 75% of material from landfill. this can be achieved through avoidance and recycling. by avoiding disposable nappies and encouraging cloth nappies as an alternative, we can achieve up to 6% less waste going to landfill.
- it is estimated it takes 200 times the energy to produce one disposable nappy as it does to wash one cloth nappy.
- it takes 4.5 trees to make the pulp used in disposables for one baby over 2.5 years.
- it takes twice the amount of water to produce one disposable than is used to wash one cloth nappy for a year.
- disposables use 3.5 times more energy than cloth nappies.
- it takes one full cup of crude oil to make the plastic for each disposable.
- modern cloth nappies are made from environmentally sustainable materials like bamboo, hemp, wool and organic cotton, all of which use less water and energy to produce.
- it is estimated each disposable takes between 300 and 500 years to breakdown. that means that a part of every disposable nappy ever put into a landfill site is still there.
- disposables produce 2.3 times more waste water (at the production stage) and 60 times more solid waste than cloth nappies.
- one baby in disposables will produce 2 tonnes of solid waste!
