For a number of years, I have been forced to use nappies (diapers, Pampers etc). As an environmentalist, I have been worried about the waste, which I assumed made from synthetic materials. I did not examine the situation but the bulk of our rubbish bags did worry me somewhat. I was quite relieved today to find that my concerns were invalid. New labelling on the packets have informed me that the contents were made from a specialised absorbent woodpulp derived from a particular eco-cultivated tree species. Notwithstanding, I think there is a small amount of a light biodegradable (<100 years half-life) plastic in the outer layer. This has been a relief in my own mind.
