1. How much time will it take for eenee nappies to degrade in landfill?
Ideally our nappies will be diverted from landfill but we understand that this will not always be possible or practical for some of our customers.
If our nappies do end up in landfill like all other disposable nappies, then our nappies are made from more renewable materials which are more likely to biodegrade over time if conditions allow.
How long anything takes to degrade in landfill will be subject to the conditions of that specific landfill.
2. Are eenee nappies compostable in home facilities and how long will it take?
Our uPads are designed to be processed in commercial composting facilities where the necessary conditions are present to ensure pasteurization and ‘recycling’ into useful soil conditioners.
If customers would like to compost wet uPads at home, then a hot composting method is required e.g. the Berkeley Method as described here-

We do not recommend soiled nappies are composted at home.
3. How long will it take for eenee nappies to compost in a commercial compost facility?
Our nappies will compost at the same rate as other organic matter i.e. in one compost cycle at commercial compost facilities
