Where Do All That Diapers Go?

If G Diapers had done their research of quote, 'It takes up to 500 years for a disposable to biodegrade in a landfill. Just in time for your great, great, great, great, grandchild's birth. ', where are all those soiled diapers?

There are great many other woes of landfill wastage - plastic bags, bottles, construction materials left overs, and etc. I would try my best to lessen the problems although I contribute a menial 0.0000000000001 %?

Before I came across G Diaper, I didn't even know that disposable diapers are non-biodegradable. When I mentioned about organic cotton pants with disposable pads, I receive very honest comments. For example, will I inconvenient myself to add more steps of taking care of my baby?
G Diapers seem convenient enough with the steps and the idea of the pads to be biodegradable is pleasing. Although I must say that I'm not very sold into flushing it down. If tissue papers can clog the toilet, non-plastic pads will too, no?

I contacted G Diaper for Singapore retailer information, but apparently they don't sell anywhere outside US. Woes to the extra landfill...
