Our beautiful two month old daughter is producing a lot of disposable nappies, as they do. The black bin used to go out every two month or so but now its every two weeks, and 80% of it is nappies. I hate the thought of all that going to landfill, but don't think we have the time, energy or inclination to go down the terry cloth reusable nappy route. Just seen the (allegedly) biodegradable moltex nappies from ecobaby. But Dublin council won't accept them in the new brown bins, although other co. councils apparently will. Our compost bin would be full within a few days using them too. So has anyone used them and what are they like both for baby and environment? Can they be disposed of easily and in a green way? Or are there other alternatives I'm missing
Thanks
Nick
