A typical disposable diaper doesn't tend to recycle very well, especially when they have already been used. They take many, many years to break-down in landfills. You tend to want to wander away from using an already used diaper on another baby due to their sanitary requirements(as they can cause rashes on other babies skin who aren't the sole/original wearer of the diaper). The only diapers that are recyclable are cloth diapers which can be washed and re-used.

Cloth Diapers is good for the environment?

Yes. Cloth diapers are much better for the environment than disposable. A family using disposable diapers on one child contributes 4-12 diapers per day to the landfill. These diapers are made of synthetic materials which do not decompose and may be harmful to the soil and water. Also, disposable diapers are made of sythetic materials and chemicals that require much more energy and waste to produce. Cloth diapers are made almost entirely out of organic materials, since they (cotton, bamboo, hemp, wool, etc) absorb much better than synthetic cloths. Most families use the same 30 or so diapers for the entire time their child is in diapers, and often use the same diapers for future children. After use as diapers most can be recycled or reused as cleaning rags. Thus, cloth diapers contribute little if anything to landfills. Yes, cloth diapers need to be cleaned and therefore require more water use, the amount of water is actually quite minimal and most treatment plants can clean the organic waste from the water quite easily.
