In the US alone, over 18 billion diapers are thrown away each year. Each one of these diapers take 300 years to fully biodegrade! That means that not one diaper has ever naturally biodegraded yet.

When you consider the damage this must be doing to our environment, you’d think that someone might be doing something about it wouldn’t you? I mean, with all the technology we have these days and we can’t even make a 100% biodegradable diaper (well, at least one that can biodegrade within a reasonable time frame!).

Well, I’m happy to announce that all this has changed.

Safeties Nature Nappy is the worlds first 100% biodegradable diaper. The Nature Nappy can biodegrade within 6 months (depending on the soil). Senevens (the company that invented the Nature Nappy), has revolutionized the way diapers are made. They hold many patents on the design of the diaper, as well as the machinery that makes the diapers.

If you’re not from Australia you might be wondering why it’s called Nature Nappy? Well, Senevens is an Australian company and in Australia a “diaper” is called “nappy”. So, call them “diapers” or call them “nappies” - they do the same thing! Of course, Senevens’ nappies do much more for the environment than normal nappies/diapers.

Senevens has just recently listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (under the code SVN) and they are keen to penetrate the nappy/diaper market around the world. They are already selling the Nature Nappy in Australia and New Zealand. I’m hoping the public take notice of this one.
