DYPER Simply Kind Diapers

DYPER’s new Simply Kind Diapers represent a significant step forward in their mission to reduce plastic waste and build a healthier planet for our children. Parents shouldn’t have to choose between their baby’s well-being and the environment. By using materials such as paper, natural wax and clay in our new packaging and plant-based materials in our diapers, DYPER hopes to set an industrywide example that we can all reduce our reliance on plastics as a society.

Plastic waste in diapering is a huge problem. The vast majority of disposable diapers are constructed with two water bottles worth of plastic and sold in single packs with virgin plastic packaging. In fact, about 36% of all plastic is used for packaging, and 85% of it ends up in the landfill, where it can take up to 500 years to break down. DYPER’s Simply Kind product line marks a successful transition to fully recyclable paper packaging for single packs in retail stores – a first of its kind for the category in North America. Packaging for DYPER’s larger Club Boxes is fully recyclable, with inner packs utilizing post-consumer resin (PCR). Repurposing old plastics that would otherwise have gone to the landfill is central to driving the circular economy and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, Club Boxes and inner packs are now certified by the How 2 Recycle labeling program, which clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public.
