Eco Diapers FAQ
What does “biodegradable” actually mean for diapers?
Biodegradable means the material breaks down via microbial activity into water, CO2, and biomass. Cuddle-Kin’s 60% biodegradable measure is for commercial composting facilities (60-90 day breakdown). Backyard compost is NOT recommended for any disposable diaper.
Can I compost Cuddle-Kin diapers at home?
No — we do not recommend home composting any disposable diaper, including ours. Use commercial composting only, or standard waste disposal.
Is bamboo really more eco than tree pulp?
Yes — bamboo grows 30x faster than trees, requires zero pesticides, and regrows from cut stalks without replanting. Tree pulp requires logging old-growth or managed plantations.
What about the SAP polymer?
The super-absorbent polymer is the one synthetic component (~5% by weight). All disposable diapers use it. Cuddle-Kin uses food-grade SAP at lower percentages than mainstream brands.
Carbon-neutral shipping?
Yes — we offset all subscription shipping via Pachama-verified reforestation. One-time orders to be added 2026 Q3.
