Pet Poo Skiddoo, a pet waste removal and composting company in Asheville, NC has successfully composted its first baby diaper! The brand that works? Dyper! That's 'Diaper', but with a "Y" and you can purchase or subscribe to home deliveries at dyper.com.
Dyper is a bamboo based material, and after the test we did in one of our composters, 90% of the material breaks down within 26 days - the remnants that didn't seem to compost in our trial were the elastic bands, a small pad in the main part of the diaper pad, and the sticky tabs used. But think about it, if 90% of diaper waste can be diverted from the landfill and composted?!? That would be amazing!!!
Check out Dyper.com, they look like they have a composting program in a few locations right now but hopefully will grow fast. Rest assured they are not making their claims up :)
And for those who live in Asheville, we won't be able to compost diapers as a service quite yet as that would be quite an undertaking, but who knows what the future holds!
