| Did you know that there are toxic chemicals present in disposable diapers? Dioxin is a by-product from the paper bleaching process that is used in making Disposables. Small quantities of this chemical may be found in these diapers. Sodium polyacrylate,(this is those super absorbent crystals that turn to a jell-like consistency when baby wets). This is the same substance that was linked to toxic shock syndrome and was removed from tampons. Other chemicals present cause emissions that are known to add to respiratory problems. Diaper rash increases because of the allergies linked to the chemicals. Cloth diapers do not contain the chemicals that Disposables do. |
OUR ENVIRONMENT Environment has become an important issue these days. Did you know that over 8,000 tons of disposable diapers are added to our landfills every day? They take up to 500 years to decompose. Every year over 1,000,000 metric tons of wood pulp and over 70,000 metric tons of plastic are used by the Manufacturer to make disposable diapers. The American Petroleum Institute states that over 3 billion gallons of oil were used to produce 18 million disposable diapers. The U.S. alone uses 27 "billion" disposable diapers a year. Almost 8,000 disposable diapers are used per child for the approx. 3 years of diapering. ALL ADDED TO OUR LANDFILLS. |
