- 8 million disposable nappies are thrown away in Britain every day
- Over two and a half years, 6,000 disposable nappies will be used by one baby as opposed
to re-using the same 24-50 "real" nappies
- Every £l spent on single use nappies costs the Council Tax payer 10p to dispose of them
- The total cost nationally for the disposal of nappies is £40 million each year.
- Disposables use 90 times more non-renewable material, for example, one cup of crude oil
is needed to make one disposable nappy
- To keep one baby in disposable nappies for two and a half years, four and a half trees
will be cut down to produce the nappies
- Re-usable nappies are soft, cotton and breathable, which helps to prevent nappy rash
- Disposable nappies contain gels and chemicals which are not subject to governmental
controls or independent testing
