There are 11 million diaper-age babies in the US. Each baby uses an average of 65 diapers per week. That results in over 37 BILLION disposables being tossed EACH YEAR in the US alone. With raising awareness of single-use plastic bags, bottles and straws, why are diapers, which currently make up 30% of non-biodegradable waste in American landfills, disregarded?
In this Episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Liz Turrigiano, Co-Founder and CEO of Esembly, and Champion of Sustainable Diapers. Esembly offers a sustainable diapering system that is built to last to help avoid all those throw-away diapers that end up polluting our environment and aren’t easily recyclable.
With Esembly’s service, you’ll only need 48 diapers from birth through potty training. They are still reusable afterwards, meaning you can pass them on to other families or let Esembly buy the diapers from you to either be used again or recycled properly. Their other products include skin care and laundering products as well as a variety of accessories.


Parents can make a huge positive impact on the planet with this switch and while it may seem a little gross at first, Liz assures us that it’s the natural and healthier way to go. She even compares the clean-up process to just washing the dishes!
