#Ulog 3. Recycled Diapers | I Discovered A Simple Way To Recycle Diapers For Babies And Thus Reduce Their Environmental Impact.

Hi dear community. Today I want to tell you about disposable diapers for babies, how it affects the environment and a simple method to recycle and reuse them, it is really beneficial both for the environment and for our pocket.

The environmental impact of diapers is really alarming, its manufacture requires the use of raw materials such as cellulose which comes from trees and petroleum-derived materials (elastics, polypropylene adhesives, polyethylene, and plastics). The decomposition time of the diapers we discard ranges between 100 and 300 years. Then consider that if a baby uses an average of 5 diapers each day are about 150 diapers a month, multiplied by 30 months, which is the approximate time required for each child to learn to go to the bathroom, are about 4500 diapers for each child . The number of years required for the degradation or decomposition of this amount of diapers is exorbitant.

Knowing this, I hope you understand the importance of recycling and not just baby diapers but all the materials that damage our planet day.

That said, let's start with the explanation of this "eco-idea" to recycle diapers and wet towels, which is a creation of my mother.

The first thing to do is remove the filler from the dirty diaper, which we have previously cleaned. For this we cut the ends of the diaper on the inside, without damaging the outer lining and then proceed to remove the contents.

Wash the diaper and towels (wet wipes to clean the baby's tail) using your usual detergent and little chlorine.

Let the diaper and towels dry.

Stack the towels (6 or 8 units) and fold them in half.

Place the towels inside the diaper using the opening we made to remove the filling.

And now we have a diaper that we can wash and reuse many times.
