How Many Diapers Will Your Baby Keep Out of a Landfill? We Did the Mat – Resnug

The planet your child will grow up on

Every year around Earth Day, we find ourselves thinking a little more about the world we're handing forward.

Here's something that quietly stopped us in our tracks: a single baby goes through roughly 6,000 disposable diapers before potty training. In the US alone, around 20 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills every year, and each one takes an estimated 500 years to decompose.

That's not a guilt trip. It's just the number, and once you know it, it's hard to unknow.

You can change that number

Every cloth diaper used is one less sitting in a landfill for the next five centuries. Over a full diapering journey, a family using cloth can divert hundreds, sometimes over a thousand, diapers from the waste stream.

Resnug™ diapers are made with GOTS-certified organic cotton and designed to last from infancy through potty training. One diaper, used again and again, instead of thousands of single-use plastics. That's what "cloth diapering, simplified" means to us: a practical choice that quietly does a lot of good.
