Ever imagined the impact of millions of diapers disposed each day into landfills if one diaper takes 500 years to decompose. The cellulose fibers, super-absorbing polymers, and synthetic fabrics used to make diapers take years to break down. They also contain potentially harmful chemicals and toxins that have been linked to causing serious skin conditions, diaper rash and recently even cases of cancer.

Therefore, the creation of reusable and eco-friendly diapers that is also beneficial for the skin spells good news.

Reusable Diapers

Sumo diapers are eco-friendly and reusable diapers that are made of a recyclable material called SeaCell: an antibacterial, absorbent, and biodegradable textile that is made out of seaweed and eucalyptus. The good thing about these diapers is that they can be sustainably harvested and recycled. An environmentally-friendly kind of waterproofing technology called EcoRepel makes these diapers sustainably waterproof.

Good For The Skin

The diapers developed from sea cell is rich in antioxidants that are good for the skin. According to the SeaCell website, what sets this product apart is the unique properties of seaweed that help to protect our skin against harmful environmental influences. It states that the seaweed is pure and rich in essential substances such as vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and minerals that trigger cell regeneration and consequently helps to cure skin diseases, reduce inflammation and soothe itchiness.

These revolutionary diapers were developed by Swiss designer Luisa Kahlfeldt when it struck her how detrimental the traditional diapers were for the planet.
