Diapers: Americans throw away 570 diapers per second. That's 49 million diapers per day!

Diapers: Americans throw away 570 diapers per second. That's 49 million diapers per day!

An average child will use between 8,000 -10,000 disposable diapers ($2,000 worth) before being potty trained. Each year, parents and babysitters dispose of about 18 billion of these items.
In the United States alone these single-use items consume nearly 100,000 tons of plastic and 800,000 tons of tree pulp.
We will pay an average of $350 million annually to deal with their disposal and, to top it off, these diapers will still be in the landfill 300 years from now.

There is a very clean biodegradable solution.
