Baby nappies make up a large volume of all waste sent for disposal. Most informed sources
suggest a figure of 4.5% of domestic waste is made up of baby nappies. If recyclable
materials are removed from the waste stream, nappies make up 15% of domestic waste. So
what can be done about this? Well, a company called 'ecobaby' (they have an office in
Dublin), supply nappies which are environmentally friendly. Personal experience suggests
that econappies are as good as, and are the same cost as, those nappies generally
available in the supermarkets. They can posted direct to your door. For more info, ring
