Concerned parents now can opt for a healthier, more environment-friendly option for their little babies, who unknowingly contribute to this entire bio-degradation process. Disposable diapers add to ecological degradation. The ever-growing heaps of non-biodegradable diaper waste are a big threat to our environment.
