I have chosen the washable layers, in French “couches lavables.” I have chosen this because, for me it’s the best object for the economy and the ecology.

From birth to the cleanliness, the disposable layers for one child use:

                                                 - 4.5 trees.

                                                  - 25kg of plastic, so 67 kg of oil.

                                                 - About 20 liters of water

                                                 - And many chemicals

About, one child use 6 layers per Day.

From birth to cleanliness, a child uses about 5000 layers.

In France, there are 1,8millions of children who use layers equivalent at

2, 7 milliards of layers.

A disposable layer will take about 500 years to degrade. Among these 500 years, it will produce methane and toxic’s gases.

How use a washable layer

1)    The baby use the layer

2)    You take the saddle layer and put this in the WC

3)    You rinse the layer and you put it in the washer.

4)    After you let dry the layer

5)    You put a new saddle layer

6)    And you can reuse it.

To create a washable layer, we do not use many chemicals.

A washable layer will take about 6 month to degrade.

On average 1 washable layer cost 10 Euros but 5 disposable layers cost 1 euro.

A child needs to 5000 layers

We must pay 1000 euro for the layers of one child, if you take disposable layer.

We must pay 250 euro for the layers of one child, if you take washable layers.
