Default Biological diapers?

Hi all,

Recently I have known that for our kids exist, more than the ecological washable diapers, indian corn diapers made of mater-bi o pla; it is the material that the bags you use to collect the moist of the sorted waste collection are made of.

The only I have found are made only for the 80% of this material, so I must throw them in the generical garbage.

Does anyone know if exists fully compostable diapers so that I can throw them in the sorted waste collection or in my private composter to produce plant food?

A big thank you to everyone who can help me.

I have no idea, we use cloth diapers so I've never had any problems.

Sorry but you can't throw biologicals into the recycling - Pizza boxes are not recyclable for that reason.

The only really eco-diapers I have heard of are brown diapers. They don't need bleaching which is the problem with white diapers.

you cannot compost human waste.....the diaper may be compost able, but the human waste is not.

Ok waste does of course compost, doesn't remain in landfills forever, but it is not safe to have around your garden......there is a reason your body wanted rid of it in the first place,, don't try to put it back.
