The colossal impact of disposable diapers

diaper / baby until potty training

100

On average, each baby uses 4,700 disposable diapers before reaching potty training, generating thousands of items of waste with an average of 4 to 5 changes per day.
This figure underlines the considerable environmental impact of this daily practice.

Kilos of waste / child

100

Over the two and a half years it takes for a baby to become potty-trained, this amounts to a tonne of non-recyclable waste per child.
Each disposable diaper contributes around 200 grams of waste, often incinerated or buried, taking up to 500 years to fully degrade.

Billions of diapers thrown away / per year

In France alone, 3.5 billion diapers are thrown away every year, representing 700,000 tonnes of waste.
Eco-responsible” diapers are no exception, as legislation does not allow human excrement to be composted, and these diapers are not entirely biodegradable.

Overall, cloth diapers are :

50% less water consumption

93% fewer greenhouse gas emissions

80% less electricity consumption
