Reducing Your Environmental Diaper Footprint

Reducing Your Environmental Diaper Footprint

You can make a difference with small changes. Use washcloths instead of disposable wipes at home. When you do use disposable wipes, ensure you use ones that do not contain plastic fibers. Wipes that do not contain plastic fibers are labeled accordingly.

When buying diaper cream, avoid products that contain mineral oil-based components, that are declared as petroleum jelly, petrolatum, white petrolatum, soft paraffin, or multi-hydrocarbon. Use apps to check the chemical composition of the products you use.

You can use a diaper pail that uses regular trash bags instead of ones that use proprietary containers with even more plastics around them.

Reuse the boxes your diapers come in for other purposes such as storage or shipping other items.

By employing these little tips, we can make a difference today!
