Recycle diapers and produce biogas

The disposable diapers They are a serious problem due to the amount of waste produced from this element.

It is estimated that a baby needs 6000 diapers in the first 24 months of life approximately. For this reason millions and millions of diapers are discarded on the planet.

Faced with this reality, the French company Suez Environnement is carrying out the pilot program called Happy Nappy, which aims to recycle that used diapers y produce energy, compost and other materials for reuse.

Diapers are not an easy waste to recycle because on the one hand there are the organic waste of the baby and on the other hand the plastic components and materials that make up the diaper.

So you have to separate each part to later be able to recycle them correctly.

The process begins with crushing to be able to separate each part and then carry out a suitable treatment.

Organic waste is purified and used to generate biogas and fertilizers for agriculture.

Once recycled plastics can be reused to make other products.

It is very important to help companies interested in recycling complex products such as diapers, since if they achieve an efficient and profitable process and technology, a serious waste problem can be solved.

Diapers are a problem throughout the world, in most countries they are disposed of improperly and without treatment since they are buried in landfills or burned both forms are highly polluting.

This initiative of recycling diapers and producing energy at the same time is a truly sustainable idea that can reduce the amount of waste worldwide.

It is also important that diaper manufacturers use biodegradable components and components that are easier to recycle to favor their reinsertion into a production process.
