La compagnie, EarthBaby, a pour but d’éliminer les couches jetables et les serviettes humides pour bébé dans les dépotoirs. Créé par trois familles de la baie de San Francisco il y a deux ans qui en avait assez de voir des tonnes de couches se retrouver dans les poubelles chaque semaine, EarthBaby offre un service de livraison de couches compostable à domicile. Le service comprends la livraison de couche stérile ainsi que la collection de couches souillés qui sont professionellement compostées. Chaque semaine, plus de 1000 livres de couches n’atterissent pas dans le dépotoir de Santa Cruz et sont plutot convertit en terre fertile.
Quand on pense qu’il en prend entre 200 et 500 ans pour une couche commerciale de se désintegre dans la nature à comparer de 10 a 14 semaines pour une couche EarthBaby, on voit l’utilité de ce service.

When my children were little and in diapers, I often wondered how many pounds of diapers ended up in landfills every year… We estimate that there are about 350 millions of baby diapers that end up yearly in San Francisco Bay Area landfills. This is something to ponder on…
EarthBaby, has for goal to eliminate disposable diapers and wipes from landfills. Created by three Bay Area families who were tired to see the number of baby diapers being sent in the trash each week, EarthBaby offers a home service delivery of compostable diapers to their customers. The service includes the delivery of sterile diapers as well as the collection of soiled diapers that are being professionally composted. Each week, more than 1,000 pounds of diaper waste don’t end up in the Santa Cruz County landfill and are being converted into nutrient-rich soil instead.
When we think that it takes between 200 and 500 years for a commercial diaper to degrade in landfill compared to 10 to 14 weeks for an EarthBaby diaper, we see the benefit of this service.
