In general, diapers marketed as biodegradable (or compostable) tend to use more sustainable materials and production methods than regular diapers, making them a bit more eco-friendly. But if they are not actually sent to a composting facility, then their impact is only very slightly better than regular diapers.

Did you know an average baby uses over 2000 diapers in its first year, and that billions of non-compostable diapers make their way into sewerage systems, landfills, fields and water bodies every month. And that one diaper can take as long as 500 years to fully break down.

recycle material

Brand use glass, metal & plastic for most of their product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content.

Generally, diapers marketed as biodegradable (or compostable) try to use more sustainable materials and production methods than regular diapers, making them slightly more eco-friendly.
But if they are not actually sent to a commercial composting facility, then their impact can be considered to be only marginally better than regular diapers.
Labels like “pure”, “green” , “natural” and “eco-friendly” on diaper packaging, can make the user believe that the product is sustainable and good for the planet. But in reality, most single-use diapers contain plastic (petroleum based) and will end up in the landfill like the average commercial diaper.

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.
So it is always good when brands accept back their empties for sterilizing and recycling and when they offer refills.

The Honest Company is cruelty free.
