Copenhagen Starts Collecting Diapers for Recycling Today

Copenhagen Municipality now collects diapers for recycling starting today.

This change directly affects families with young children in apartment buildings.

Courtyards with six or more children aged zero to four will get a new bin.

This special container is only for discarded diapers.

Every year, Copenhagen incinerates about 50 million diapers.

Line Barfod is Copenhagen mayor for climate, environment, and technology.

She stated that recycling diapers brings major climate benefits.

Copenhagen has many young children, so the recycling potential is large.

Residents should check their building courtyards for the new bin.
