As parents, you're always making choices for your kids' well-being, from food to toys. But what about diapers? It's a daily thing, but regular disposables can take up to 500 years to break down in landfills. We think you shouldn't have to pick between what's easy and what's right. That's why we want to share how our special diaper pad breaks down and returns to the soil in just 60 days.
This isn't just about a product. It's about keeping our promise: baby care that's beneficial for your child and the environment. Come see how this amazing process works, thanks to some smart tech.
What Does "Biodegradable" Really Mean?
"Biodegradable" means something can break down naturally. But to be Earth-friendly, it matters what it's made of and how it breaks down. Our Eco-Core tech is a big step forward for biodegradable diaper pads.
Plant-Based Backing Beats Plastic
Typical diaper pads use plastic to stop leaks. It works, but it takes forever to break down. We knew we could do better. Our Eco-Core uses a strong, waterproof backsheet made from plants. It protects just as well but can be broken down by bacteria and fungi.
A Core That's Absorbent and Sustainable
Inside our diaper pad is a core that's great at soaking up wetness and good for the environment. We use plant-based stuff that keeps your baby dry. Unlike some normal pads with harsh stuff, ours is gentle and works excellently. It's good for your baby and the Earth.
60 Days to Break Down: Here's How
Ever wonder what happens to a biodegradable diaper pad after you toss it? We'll show you what happens in those 60 days, step by step.
Weeks 1-2: Getting Started
In a good compost area, the plant stuff starts soaking up moisture. This makes the pad softer. Then, tiny organisms come to eat it.
Weeks 3-6: Nature Gets to Work
This is where the magic happens. Bacteria and fungi eat the pad, turning it into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Our Eco-Core helps these organisms do their job faster. Studies show that similar starch materials can almost disappear in 60 days.
Weeks 7-8: Back to the Earth
Almost done! The pad is now humus, which is good for the soil. It's back in the environment without any bad microplastics. This is way better than regular diapers that can last for centuries.
Composting: Big vs. Small
Keep in mind that these results happen in special compost places. They have the right heat, moisture, and air for things to break down fast and meet certain standards. Our pads will still break down in nature, but it might take longer. Landfills don't have air or light, so things break down very slowly. If you can, use compost places to get the best results.
Same Great Performance
People ask if eco-friendly means the pad won't work as well. We can say that it still works great. We want our stuff to be sustainable and work well. You need a pad that's good at soaking up messes and comfy for your baby.
Our pads are as good as, or even better than, the most popular brands. Tests show that green diapers can be better at soaking up messes and stopping leaks. Here's a quick look:
