Diapers You Can Feel Good About

Diapers You Can Feel Good AboutPosted by Belinda Miller on May 24, 2006 - 7:18am.

I see there’s a flushable diaper in town. My town, to be precise. gDiapers are based in Portland, OR, where clean, green living is ingrained. Flushable diapers hold the promise of not choking the landfills for the next 500 years (the time it takes a traditional disposable to degrade. They are not bleached with dioxins and the ingredients get “re-absorbed back into the eco-system in a neutral or beneficial way.” You can even compost them (JUST the wet ones though). The flushables are manufactured in the USA from sustainably farmed trees made into fluffed wood pulp. The covers are cotton and elastene, the diaper liners are breathable polyurethane coated nylon, not PVC. They are made in China, though under China Labour Watch, and the company claims to be continually looking for ways to improve working conditions of their labor force. They sound like an eco-Mom’s dream come true (well, after a full night of sleep and one uninterrupted, non-baby related conversation).
