Cloth nappies are typically made from natural fibers like cotton, hemp, or bamboo, while disposable diapers are primarily made from plastic, wood pulp, and superabsorbent polymers. Cloth nappies are reusable and generate less waste, but they require water and energy for washing, which can offset some environmental benefits. Disposable diapers, while convenient, contribute significantly to landfill waste and take hundreds of years to decompose. Overall, cloth nappies are generally considered more environmentally friendly due to their lower long-term waste and resource consumption, despite their higher initial resource use for production.
