How are disposable diapers manufactured?
To acquire the wood pulp for disposables, approximately one billion trees are cut down each year. Disposables are so white because the pulp is bleached with chlorine gas, which produces toxic chemicals called organochlorines. Dioxin is the most notorious organochlorine-one of the most toxic substances made by humans. Dioxin is associated with birth defects, miscarriages and cancer. Organochlorine is one of the primary ingredients of Agent Orange. Not a nice choice for your baby!
