Nappy bags

[altyfc]

Just curious... do nappy bags actually delay the rate at which a nappy would degrade? ie. would it degrade quicker if it wasn't placed in a nappy bag prior to landfill, or would it make little difference. If it would delay the process... how much would it be by?

Its not an issue that I'd lose sleep over.
Whether it ends up in landfill at all is of more concern, but once it does, it will degrade eventually, and how much difference the bag makes will vary (sometimes it will make a big difference). Of course if the bag is degradeable, this will help. Avoiding landfill is of more concern I'd say. Sorry for stating the obvious.

Meanwhile, the UK might actually be catching up on the US, Canada, much of Europe......... and various other countries on such issues:

Meanwhile, would someone mind listing the options for parents, as I'm vaguely aware that there are quite a few, not just disposeable/washeable.

Cheap nappy sacks aren't necessarily biodegradable but look forward to the first nappy recovery plant - should be a laugh.

Nice one!
Was tempted to go, but quite a long way for a mid week gig, and we saw them in Sheffield fairly recently.

I'm normally the one down the front with a friend, both of us oven gloved.

You got the new album yet then?
