The rapid growth of the disposable nappy industry has been fueled by aggressive marketing strategies, particularly in developing countries where the surge in plastic waste poses significant challenges to infrastructure. For instance, Indonesia, a major contributor to marine pollution, faces a staggering 21% of river pollution from nappies alone, as highlighted in a World Bank study.

However, the trend of delayed toilet training has also been prevalent in developed countries like the UK, where children are now potty trained at an older age compared to previous generations. This shift has led to a significant increase in the consumption of disposable nappies, with brands like Huggies and Pampers introducing larger sizes to accommodate older children.

The marketing tactics employed by the disposable nappy industry have played a crucial role in perpetuating the myth that children should be kept in nappies for longer periods. By promoting products like ‘training pants’ and associating delayed toilet training with modern parenting theories, corporations have successfully extended the time children spend in nappies.

However, experts like Jamie Glowacki, a potty training specialist, argue that toilet training is most effective between the ages of 20 and 30 months. Delaying the process can lead to various bladder and bowel disorders, as well as an increased risk of urinary tract infections among toddlers.

The environmental impact of disposable nappies is another significant concern, with mountains of plastic waste accumulating in landfills and posing long-term pollution risks. Despite the convenience offered by disposables, reusable nappies are considered a more eco-friendly option, especially when paired with renewable energy sources and sustainable practices.

The debate over the environmental footprint of disposable versus reusable nappies has been clouded by conflicting studies, with some government-backed reports favoring disposables. However, recent research by the United Nations Environment Programme has highlighted the lower environmental impact of reusable nappies, emphasizing the need for greater advocacy and incentives to promote their adoption.

In conclusion, the disposable nappy industry’s focus on profit-driven marketing tactics has perpetuated the myth of delayed toilet training, leading to increased plastic waste and environmental harm. By prioritizing corporate interests over sustainability and child welfare, these companies have created a dirty legacy that must be addressed through informed consumer choices and policy interventions.
