The Great diaper system debate.



Which one is best for the environment?
Over the last 20 years a great debate has raged over which diaper system has the least impact on the environment, cloth or disposable. With the recent introduction of a third option, gDiapers, a compostable/flushable hybrid system, moms and dads must re-visit this debate and determine which diaper they believe is best for the planet and, of course, best for their baby.
In a perfect world, there would be a fair and balanced study of all three options giving you the straight poop, but alas there isn’t, yet.
In an effort to offer you an apples-to-apples comparison of cloth, disposable and gDiapers, we have compiled many of these studies and translated them into language we all understand. Naturally, we hope you’ll choose gDiapers. But the important thing is to have all the information right in front of you.
Here are the important points to consider when assessing the environmental impact of a diaper system.
- How are they made and what is the impact?
- How are they used and what is the impact?
- How are they disposed and what is the impact?
