Introduction to Disposable Baby Diapers and Biodegradability

The environmental impact of disposable baby diapers has become a growing concern for eco-conscious parents. While convenient, most conventional disposable baby diapers contain plastics and synthetic materials that can take centuries to decompose. This guide examines diaper biodegradability, compares materials, and introduces Ranjin's eco-friendly solutions - helping parents make informed choices for their babies and the planet.
