A baby uses on average about 2000 single-use diapers per year. While in some countries, these diapers are incinerated in special facilities, here in Moldova they end up in the Țînțăreni garbage dump, where they take approx. 500 years to decompose. Furthermore, single-use diapers have been proven to contain harmful substances such as polymers, which can cause allergic reactions in babies.
However, there is an alternative: reusable textile diapers! Parents who choose this type of diapers say that the only minus is the less confortable changing process, but the benefits are plenty: a more healthy baby and environment, much lower costs etc. Learn more about the eco-impact of diapers from our #NoWaste Department here
