Disposable Diaper Composting Service

Earth-Baby.com is a new service that composts disposable baby diapers and wipes.  Finally a green solution to a long time problem. They say their high temperature composting process uses only a tiny fraction of the energy required to launder diapers.

The down sides. Their monthly service fee is $29.99 and includes delivery, pickup, and professional processing.  You need to use their diapers as they need to control their waste stream. (And profits) Diapers are $11.79 per pack (22-44 diapers depending upon the size) and wipes are $3.59 per pack of 70. Their service is available in the San Francisco Bay Area. Check your local area for similar diaper composting services.

gDiapers makes hybrid diapers whose biodegradable gRefills can be home composted, flushed, or thrown away.

Knowaste recycles diapers, nappies, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products (AHPS).

Slightly over 2% of trash is diapers, so construction debris, food scraps, and other items are far more important to address.
