As famílias americanas enfrentam o aumento das despesas e desafios ambientais com as fraldas descartáveis. Um bebê comum usa milhares desses produtos a cada ano, gerando uma quantidade significativa de resíduos com poucas opções de reciclagem disponíveis.

As famílias gastam entre 840 e 1.200 dólares anualmente com fraldas descartáveis para uma criança. Dados do setor mostram que os custos mensais variam frequentemente de 70 a 100 dólares, com tarifas elevando ainda mais o preço de algumas marcas importadas. Quase metade das famílias americanas com crianças pequenas relata dificuldades para comprar fraldas suficientes, um número que aumentou ao longo da última década.
