Best Answer

Not really. Most disposable diapers are comprised of plastics, many of which can take centuries and even millenia to completely decompose. As for the bodily waste in the diaper, it is biodegradable but most North American standards would consider it to be biohazardous waste not fit for reintroduction to the food chain as fertilizer or such-like.
