Nappies

1 baby = 5,000 nappies = 1,750 kilograms of domestic waste

Babies need nappies, but which type is the right one?

Did you know that a two and a half-year-old baby will produce a five metre high pile of used disposable nappies that weigh almost one tonne! Disposables will outlive your child by many lifetimes. It takes 200-500 years for one disposable nappy to decompose (www.paistesasta.ie , 2003)

Find out about modern real nappies at our Nappy Display at the Murrough Environmental Centre, Wicklow Town and at The Bray Recycling Centre.
