disposable Nappies & cloth nappies

Cloth Nappies has NO environmental advantage over disposable Nappies

Another independent and objective study was the Australian Consumers' Association's consumer study of nappy performance, which concluded:

"There's no clear environmental advantage in using cloth nappies over disposables. Both have damaging environmental impacts." ²

This and the other life cycle assessment studies found that nappy alternatives had similar, overall impacts on the environment. The main differences were in the type of impact which occurred at each stage of each product's life cycle such as the use of water, energy and chemicals for washing cloth nappies.
