It takes two trees per year to keep one baby in disposable diapers, yet the conventional cotton used to make traditional cloth diapers is heavily treated with pesticides and other chemicals.

Eco-friendly baby wipes—either reusable organic cloth or alternative disposable varieties—create less waste, keep chemicals off of baby’s skin and out of the environment, and may save parents money.

Gdiapers are the world's first flushable diaper! A truly eco-friendly option to your standard disposable combining a washable, cotton outer pant with plastic-free flushable insert. (yes, flushable, so poop goes where it should, in the toilet!). Gdiapers are cradle to cradle certified. That means everything that goes into one of our flushables gets re-absorbed back into the eco-system in a neutral or beneficial way. So you are turning waste into a resource. At the same time, you are putting poop in the toilet, where it belongs, and avoiding the landfill issue all together.
