disposal options

landfilling can present environmental problems as rotting waste can produce methane gas as well as toxic liquid called leachate that can ultimately affect the groundwater and the food-chain.

add to this 10,000 tonnes of untreated human sewage per year from the disposed nappies in the uk alone and the problems can be visualised. normally, raw sewage cannot be disposed of in this way.

other methods of disposal such as incineration may provide some relief to the landfilling of disposable nappies but the type of incineration used would also hold environmental implication in terms of air pollution. backyard composting is not an option.
