Eco-Friendly Disposable Nappies – ‘pre Cycle’ Your Disposable Nappies By Buying In Bulk
No comments · Posted by admin in Go Green
How can you still consider the environment even when using full-time disposables?
Whether you are a hybrid nappy user, making the switch to more eco-friendly nappy choices or a family committed to using modern cloth as much as possible, there may be times when using disposable nappies is the only way to go.
When you bulk buy disposable nappies you are making a more eco-friendly choice.
Bulk buying is practicing Pre-cycling! Precycling prevents waste from coming into your home. You will save money buying in bulk – nappies in bigger boxes, or cartons. You are save resources by reducing the packaging needed, the transport costs, the amount of waste.
There are many reasons you may decide to use disposable nappies:
you are doing certain types of travelling without access to a washing machine
you are visiting relatives who have ‘issues’ with cloth nappies
you have a newborn baby that is a pooping fanatic
someone in your family is sick
your washing machine is on the fritz
water restrictions are particularly tight (if you use mainly rain water for instance)
or you are simply tired and in need of a washing break.
At these times, instead of reusing cloth nappies, you can ‘pre-cycle’ your disposable nappies! Precycling is the practice of reducing waste by attempting to avoid bringing into the home ‘things’ which will generate waste. Precycling includes any attempts to reduce the production of waste.
Pre-Cycling includes such practices as:
buying consumables in bulk to reduce packaging
buying consumables in recyclable packaging over non-recyclable packages
avoiding junk mail
using electronic media for reading materials (especially throwaway items such as magazines or newspapers.)
Buying bulk nappies is the environmentally friendly way to buy disposables.
You can bulk buy nappies online as well as at local bulk buy nappy warehouses.
Here is an Eco-Goal for you to consider:
What if you looked into getting your next lot of disposables in bulk, to practice pre-cycling as you also save money you can use towards buying some re-usable cloth nappies?

Nowadays one of the hot topics under discussion is trying to find ways which can help us in preserving mother earth. Thanks to this growing awareness, more and more products are now available on the market, which are made of such materials that do not harm the earth. Whether you want to buy an eco friendly car or eco friendly emulsion paint, I can assure you that you will find a wide range to choose from. Now let’s say that you are a parent and you want to choose eco friendly nappies for your child. If you do a little research you will know that disposable nappies, that are so easily available in market, are not eco friendly at all. When you dispose of these disposable nappies they only add to the pile of waste mountain, so what to do in this case? The answer is simple and easy, use modern cloth nappies instead!
During the last few decades numerous researches have been conducted that clearly prove modern cloth nappies are not only good for your baby but also the environment in which we are living. This small change of using the cloth nappy instead of disposable nappies can help you in preserving the earth for the next generation as well. The question that might come to your mind is how can this be possible? Fact is that disposable nappies are not biodegradable due to which they can keep on existing on the face of earth for as long as five hundred years and more, without getting affected by the decomposition process. Now just imagine all those disposable nappies that have been used and discarded over the last decade only will keep on existing on earth for many centuries to come and keep on contributing to the pollution on earth.
One the other hand there is no such disadvantage attached to modern cloth nappies. Modern cloth nappies can be re-used as many times as you want and for as long as you want. Another thing that you might want to consider is that the valuable resources that are used to make cloth nappies will be used in lesser quantity as compared to disposable nappies where they will be used again and again. Hence, it is safe to say that by using modern cloth nappies we are ensuring that our children grow up in a much healthier environment.
