gDiapers loves the Earth.
For the last 40 years there have been but two choices in diapers. Cloth or disposable. That’s it. gDiapers offers a third option: the best of cloth and disposable in one earth-friendly hybrid. Parents can choose either certified biodegradable diapers or reusable cloth diapers with our washable little gPants diaper covers.
gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. In fact, our gRefills are so gentle on the Earth you can even garden compost the wet ones in one compost cycle, approximately 50 – 150 days. Just think of the standing ovation you’ll get from the planet.
Use, wash, repeat.
Environmentally friendly diapers aren’t the pins and plastic pants of decades past. Our gCloth cloth diaper inserts are made of baby soft microfleece and hemp/cotton. Four thirsty layers. No folding required. No bulky bum. Reduce waste by re-using gCloth at home.
Leave less of yourself behind.
gRefills are 100% biodegradable. They can be home composted, flushed or even tossed. Throw the wet ones in your garden compost and in 50 – 150 days you've turned a wet diaper into a soil amendment. You're actually giving something back to the planet and reducing your family's footprint. Flush and you're putting poop where it belongs, in the toilet, not the garbage. Even throwing gRefills away is okay. After all, gRefills are plastic free. Even thought the degradation rate in landfills is slower than in a home compost, they’ll still break down much quicker than the 500 years it takes a disposable.
Cradle to Cradle.
gDiapers are designed using the Cradle to Cradle** design principles of Bill McDonough and his firm MBDC. That means everything that goes into our gRefills gets re-absorbed back into the eco-system in a neutral or beneficial way. So you are turning waste into a resource, not making more garbage.
We appreciate there is a lot of information in this section, but we want to make sure that parents who are concerned about the earth feel their questions and concerns are answered, and backed up with independent scientific research. For us, it is all about being Fair Dinkum. You can also feel free to contact us … we love talking diapers!
