Disposable diapers have long been a thorn in the side of environmentalism, but now two UK companies may have found a way to put a positive spin on this stinky problem. Versus Energy and Knowaste have partnered to build the first plant that not only recycles diapers but is also powered by those diapers. The disposable diapers will be broken down inside the plant, where the organic materials (i.e. pee and poo) will be converted into energy to run the plant. The rest of the diaper will be dried and sterilized before being converted into reusable paper pulp and plastic products which may include everything from roof tiles to wallpaper. No matter how gross the source, its always exciting to see companies invest in new ways to create renewable energy. This may also alleviate some of the guilt of new moms who still choose to use disposable diapers instead of a more eco-friendly option like gDiapers. Its doubtful mom-to-be Tiffani Thiessen has even had time to think about what she'll be putting on her baby's bottom. The White Collar star just announced she is pregnant with her first child, adding, "We are over the moon! It's something we've wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it's actually happening." Hey, Tiffani, if you need any diapering advice don't be afraid to ask, we'll be happy to help you make the best choice, for the earth, oh, and for your baby too of course.
