APLIX is your strategic partner for sustainable diaper closures

• Each baby uses an average of 4,500 diapers from birth to potty training. These diapers are not recycled, even though 75% of a used diaper is made up of organic matter. As part of its CSR approach, APLIX worked to find a solution that would be part of the virtuous circle :  Use - Sort - Compost - Recycle.
• Mindful of the importance of protecting consumers and our environment, APLIX has developed a complete product line of 100% recyclable or industrially compostable closures for your new generation of diapers. The main component is PLA. This material is derived from the polymerisation of lactic acid (dextrose = sugar) from corn or sugar cane. It comes from 100% renewable plant resources each year and has the unique characteristic of being biodegradable by living micro organisms.
• Today, our new compostable closures are used in the construction of industrially compostable baby diapers distributed to day-care centers or to individuals with subscriptions. Once soiled, they are collected several times a week to be shredded, mixed with wood chips and green waste in an industrial composter. In a few months, the waste is recycled and ready for use in agriculture and gardening!
