Soil Degradation Trials
Independant test by the University of Tasmania show the difference in
degredation between Weenees Disposable Pads and typical 'plastic'
disposable nappies. Results under Tasmanian Summer conditions
show that Weenees degrade in soil burial after 134 days, earth worm
trials after 71-80 days and 111 days in septic tank trials. Where as the plastic
components of typical disposable nappies (approx 30% by weight of the
nappy) remained largely intact. The paper pulp portion of the typical
nappies was restricted in degrading taking 148 days under soil burial,
140 days in earth worm trials & 143 days in septic tank conditions.
