Save Waste with Recyclable Nappies
Recycling nappies is actually an old concept, as before disposable nappies were widely available most parents had to use cloth nappies for their babies which could be washed and reused any number of times. Although this can seem like a chore, it is much better for the environment for you to cut down on use of disposable nappies as these account for a large percent of all landfill waste and on average over 8 million nappies are thrown away in the UK alone every day. Disposable nappies can take up to 500 years to decompose, and not only can you save on waste by using cloth nappies but you could also save as much as £500 a year, as you will not have to buy expensive nappies only just to use them once and then throw them away.
If you do want to use cloth nappies then it is a good idea to have a tumble dryer as you can go through a fair number of nappies a day and you will need to be able to wash and dry them quickly so that you don’t run out.
