Earth Month: Eco Swap
Let's talk about nappies!
โกReusable nappiesโก
โข Around 8 million disposable nappies are sent to landfill in the UK every day โ nearly 2.5 billion a year.
โข For a family with a baby up to 1 year, nappies account for half of their weekly rubbish.
โข As the nappies break down they release methane, a greenhouse gas, & a toxic liquid called leachate, which can contaminate soil &water.
โขAn estimated 15% of parents have used them at least once.
โขThey are mostly made of natural fabrics like organic cotton, bamboo or h**p.
โข Reusable nappies send no waste to landfill. They are also breathable & are less likely to cause allergic reactions in babies.
โข Some believe reusable nappies offer better postural support than disposables, & that they may help with potty training. The theory is that a reusable nappy makes a child more aware of his bodily functions, so he is more likely to be aware if his nappy is wet & needs changing.
โข Real nappies are cost-effective. According to the Womenโs Environmental Network, washing nappies at home is the cheapest option even taking into account the cost of washing powder & energy use.
โขUsing disposable nappies from birth to potty training can cost over โฌ 1000 per child,
A stash of cloth nappies & accessories will cost approx โฌ400 to โฌ500 & can be used for subsequent children.
โขOften not considered is the amount of water & energy needed in the manufacturing of disposables. A study by Land Bank Consultancy (1991) used Procter and Gambles (manufacturers of Pampers) own research findings to identify that during manufacturing:
โข Disposable nappies use 3.5 times more energy,
โข 8 times more non-renewable raw materials,
โข 90 times more renewable material than washable nappies.
And through water usage:
โข Disposable nappies produce 2.3 times more wastewater,
โข 60 times more solid waste than washable nappies.
โข Disposable nappies require between 4 and 30 times more land for growing natural materials as reusable nappies.
