The Poo Problem: Diapers
Briefly

Despite the strong opinions on diaper choices, the environmental impact of cloth versus disposable diapers is subject to various factors, and there might not be a definitive answer.
Disposables, while convenient, contribute to significant landfill waste—around 40 million tons annually—raising concerns over their environmental implications and materials.
Chlorine-free disposables offer less irritation for babies and reduce toxic pollution, yet the transparency around materials used in diapers remains inadequate for parents' peace of mind.
The rise of compostable diapers appears promising, but their lack of widespread composting programs makes them less environmentally friendly than assumed, leading to continued concerns.
