In Laval, and just like anywhere in Quebec, we are all concerned by the 13 million tons of waste generated every year. Using washable diapers instead of disposal ones is a good way to reduce waste at the source. Disposable diapers represent a third of the waste sent to landfills.

Did you know...

• A disposable diaper may take between 300 to 500 years to degrade, and will never completely disintegrate? 

• On average, one child uses 700 diapers per year?

• 24 washable diapers can replace 6500 disposable diapers?

• Throughout its growth, a child will use one ton of disposable diapers, which represent 4,5 trees and 67 kg of oil?

• The cost of washable diapers is similar to the ones of disposables diapers, but washable ones reduce the waste management costs?
