Are reusable textiles really a benefit to use or do they produce more waste?
This is a debate that has gone on for years. Both sides produce rational but biased arguments for their position. Using paper vs. cloth diapers as a test case: * As many as 18 billion disposable diapers are thrown in landfills annually * Paper diapers take up to 500 years to decompose (estimates vary). * Washing products for cloth diapers contain no phosphates * Disposable diapers are the third largest source of solid waste in landfills (beaten out by newspapers and food and beverage containers) * Raw materials for diapers include 82,000 tons of plastic and 1.3 million tons of wood pulp, or a quarter-million trees annually * Washing cloth diapers (50 to 70 gallons of water every three days) can impose on water supplies in arid regions. * Cotton for cloth diapers is a major user of pesticides and fertilizer * Paper manufacturing emits air and water pollutants It all comes down to a personal choice

Does Georgia pacific make diapers?
They do not make diapers to my knowledge. P&G make Pampers and Luvs and Kimberly Clark make Huggies. That covers the main brands, right? Georgia Pacific did make fluff pulp used in products such as disposable diapers, baby wipes and sanitary products. They sold a major division of this production to KoCell LLC, owned by their parent company Koch Industries. There are perhaps Georgia Pacific or Koch Industries fluff pulp in commercial diapers sold, but I have not found the identity of those brands which buy from Koch Industries companies.

What can be said about diapers in landfills?
Diapers in landfills are a major pollution problem. Here's a quote from the website of the Clean Air Council: An average child will use between 8,000 -10,000 disposable diapers ($2,000 worth) before being potty trained. Each year, parents and babysitters dispose of about 18 billion of these items. In the United States alone these single-use items consume nearly 100,000 tons of plastic and 800,000 tons of tree pulp. We will pay an average of $350 million annually to deal with their disposal and, to top it off, these diapers will still be in the landfill 300 years from now. Americans throw away 570 diapers per second. That's 49 million diapers per day. Source: http://www.cleanair.org/Waste/wasteFacts.html
