To dispose of nappies at home you can usually bag them up and throw them away with your general waste. Different rules and regulations apply to nappy disposal for businesses. It’s important you put together a waste management plan for safe and secure nappy waste disposal.

Used nappies are a type of sanitary waste – meaning incorrect disposal could harm public health and the environment. It’s not hazardous, but nappy waste is offensive waste (unpleasant in sight and smell) and could lead to health issues due to exposure. It’s also often described as hygiene waste or human hygiene waste.

It’s estimated that three billion nappies are thrown away in the UK each year. Unfortunately, most nappy materials are hard to recycle – especially disposable nappies. Many nappies are disposed of with general waste and end up in landfill but nappy recycling is possible for more sustainable disposal.

Landfill sites are a key contributor to global warming. Thankfully, there are nappy recycling and other methods to dispose of such sanitary waste. For example, certain nappies can be treated at a specialist centre, making them easier to recycle. Nappy recycling is also possible for cloth nappies. After cleaning and treatment, they can go through textile recycling.

For disposable nappies that aren’t recyclable, they can be incinerated at specialist plants and used to generate energy. Landfill is a last resort for Business Waste. We work carefully alongside our partners to ensure nappy recycling where possible with waste disposed of quickly and effectively, leaving minimal impact upon the planet.
