Environmental choice

According to NSW Environment protection Authority 800 million disposable nappies are used in Australia every year, totalling 111,220 tonnes of solid waste. This amount of waste creates nearly 150,000 cubic metres of land-fill. Considering that disposable nappies take up to 400 years to break down, it’s going to be a while before we can start re-using the dumping ground of the first generation of disposable nappies just 25 years ago.
