Looking for sustainable diapers?
As a parent, juggling responsibilities feels like a constant balancing act, especially around the health of your little one.
You want the best for your baby, but you’re also mindful of the impact your choices have on the planet.
Health Risks Associated with Diapers Are Nothing New!
Although researchers warned us already a decade ago about disposable baby diapers, not so much seems to have changed in the brands you find in most shops. While it seems like a helpful and harmless product, it is important to note that the product touches reproductive organs throughout the day and every day. The actual danger poses polymers which often appear in diapers. The single-use option essentially poses an immense threat to your baby’s health and our environment. (Bhaarathidhurai, 2012).
In addition, The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety (ANSES) also recently urged comments on diapers containing poisonous ingredients (Bernard, 2022).
Assumingly, this must be a shock for most parents who are unaware of the hidden risks, but we hope more parents learn about these issues to take action.
The European Environmental Bureau claims that 90% of babies are in touch with toxic diapers which can result in health issues even much later in life. However, the in 2022 published online article also mentioned that the EU has rather avoided taking action toward the security of diaper users, and was ‘missing legal deadline’ (EEB, 2022).
Instead of waiting for the restriction of certain production methods or brands, you should consider researching your options and avoid falling for easy traps solely for convenience.
This can already start with greenwashing or similarly misleading marketing practices.
As the WHO offers statistics on hazardous exposure due to diapers, it is also shown that children of just a few months of age have little to no ability to defend themselves against toxic substances (WHO, 2011).
Something needs to change, starting with your buying options!
The Solution: Sustainable Diapers for the Win
This is where DYPER™ steps in, offering a solution that addresses most concerns: exceptional nappy performance for your baby and unwavering respect for the environment.
This article explores the story behind DYPER™’s sustainable diapers, its innovative features, and how it became the ultimate solution for conscious parents like you.
From Frustration to Innovation: The DYPER™ Origin Story
Firstly, we would like to start by introducing the founder Sergio Radovcic, and his journey to start DYPER.
We will also briefly discuss the challenges he faced that sparked the creation of the US-based retailer.
There are three key problems he is looking to solve with his innovative business:
1. The constant worry of running out of diapers
Did you know that the US indeed experienced a diaper shortage in 2023 (Harvard Public Health, 2023) while costs can vary around 100 USD a month? In the linked Harvard article written by Hoda Emam, it also becomes evident that almost every second family in the United States is financially challenged to afford diapers.
We’ve all been there (or at least the parents among us): that sinking feeling in your stomach when you reach for a diaper, only to find… emptiness.
What alternative did you use in such a situation?
Anyway, diaper emergencies are a universal parental stressor, a frantic scramble against time and potential catastrophe.
The worry gnaws at you in the checkout line, as you calculate how long the remaining stockpile will last. Did you miss a delivery?
You envision panicked late-night drives to the store, praying they’re open, praying they have your size.
It’s enough to make even the most seasoned parent break into a cold sweat.
But what if there was a way to eliminate this stress?
Simply, enter DYPER™, the innovative subscription service that ensures you never run out of diapers again.
2. Concerns about harmful chemicals in regular diapers
While research doesn’t conclusively prove harm, the presence of chemicals like chlorine, dioxins, and phthalates in some conventional diapers raises concerns.
These chemicals can potentially irritate sensitive skin, trigger allergies, or even disrupt hormonal development.
As parents, we strive to make the best choices for our children.
Just the thought of potential harm lurking in seemingly mundane items like diapers can be unsettling.
There is a high demand for sustainable diapers that let you ease, and your baby, too.
Therefore, DYPER™ prioritises your baby’s well-being by using plant-based, hypoallergenic materials that are:
- Free of harsh chemicals
- While gentle on delicate skin
- Finally, the diapers are dermatologically tested as well (Dyper, 2023).
3. The Desire for a Sustainable Baby Diaper Choice
Admittedly, Urbizon would like to highlight Sergio’s commitment to leaving a positive environmental legacy for future generations.
Moreover, see below the active initiatives of the retailer to control the aftermath of diaper use and other baby products.
COMPOSTING
- Admittedly, the company has partnered with specialized facilities that process their diapers and wipes into nutrient-rich soil
- Besides, this soil creation process only requires 3-4 months.
- Consequently, this closed-loop system diverts waste from landfills
- Therefore, it creates valuable compost for gardens and agriculture.
PYROLYSIS
- DYPER is at the forefront, piloting a cutting-edge technology called pyrolysis.
- For instance, this innovative process transforms diapers and wipes into biochar, a charcoal-like substance packed with potential.
- By heating the materials in a controlled environment, biochar captures carbon, minimizes landfill impact, and creates a valuable resource for soil health.
- Think of it: your little one’s diaper, reborn as a potent soil amendment, enhancing water retention, fertility, and overall ecosystem health.

Babies have super sensitive skin, of course, we need to ensure that anything coming new our treasures is risk-free.

The reviews prove a happy customer base by rephrasing comments like:
“LOVED the briefs pull up style diaper!” or
“These diapers are amazing. Not only are they soft and movable but they also have the added protection to keep everything in. The back is high enough for those lovely explosions, keeps it all in. I love this company, I loved how I was in control of my subscription. The added bonus gifts were always a plus too. They will always be my go to diaper/pull up. Thanks for keeping it all in Dyper! 🖤“
DYPER Products & Offers
The eco-friendly diaper product line ranges from the most common sizes, for instance, suitable newborn babies up to toddlers.
For example, diapers can be purchased from size 1 to size 6, essentially covering the most out there and regardless of your child’s age, just pick what fits best.
Additionally, they are offering sustainable baby wipes, besides sustainable cosmetics.
We just love this business!
Because, DYPA has also achieved B Corp status, which is truly remarkable.
In contrast, other famous, besides established, diaper brands have not shown their commitment to sustainability to this extent.
Even though they have operated for many years!

Conclusion
Essentially, DYPER™ offers a premium diaper experience for your baby.
Meanwhile, the business prioritises sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Certainly, there is a premium price to recognise, however, it is worth it to think about the potential impacts on your child.
Besides, the commitment to helping parents access sustainable diapers for their little ones, it furthermore challenges the disposal of such commonly single-used items.
Surely, this is a great way to invest in the environment, while being sure your baby is safe.
