Every child adds about 6500 disposable diapers to our
landfills.
Disposable diapers
have little to no recycling potential and the long term effects of them on
the environment remain unknown.
Disposable diapers can take
up to 500 years to decompose.
One baby can produce
up to 2 tons of landfill waste using disposable diapers.
Harsh bleaches and cleaning
agents used at diaper services can cause damage to the environment.
Serious threat of
contamination from disposable diapers because of human sewage
going into landfills.
Disposal of human
waste in residential garbage is technically prohibited and instructions on
disposable diaper packaging recommend that you shake out any fecal matter
into the toilet before disposing of it.
Viruses found in
feces can pose a threat to our water supplies and
wildlife.
Each baby in disposable
diapers consumes 4.5 trees (Based on only 2 years in diapers.) |
