All Nappies Struggle To Biodegrade In Landfill
15 March 2024
According to Dr Lloyd, even nappies made with a high proportion of biodegradable materials will struggle to degrade under landfill conditions.
'Microbes and oxygen are needed to aid the biodegradation process, and landfill sites are actually designed to minimise these factors. To degrade, these materials would need to be composted'.
Buying biodegradable nappies is a waste if they end up in landfill!
