<strong>SWaCH</strong> <strong>launches</strong> <strong>labels</strong> for appropriate <strong>disposal</strong> of <strong>diaper</strong>s!!<br />
Each day waste pickers have to directly handle hundreds of soiled sanitary pads and <strong>diaper</strong>s ( baby and adult). This is not<br />
only degrading, but is also a threat to their health. <strong>SWaCH</strong> has designed a S.T Dispo bag which is an identifiable<br />
newspaper bag for the appropriate <strong>disposal</strong> of soiled sanitary pads. However, there has been an urgent need to look<br />
into the appropriate <strong>disposal</strong> of soiled <strong>diaper</strong>s as well.<br />
Responding to this need <strong>SWaCH</strong> has designed an identifiable label for the <strong>disposal</strong> of<br />
soiled <strong>diaper</strong>s. Bright yellow in color, the label ( which is in sticker form) should be<br />
stuck around a bag containing soiled <strong>diaper</strong>s.<br />
The <strong>labels</strong> are priced at Rs. 2 per label and come in sheets of 10.<br />
“ This is a most welcome innovation. Once we see this label, we won’t have to open<br />
the bag to see if it contains any recyclables” says Shobha Kamble a <strong>SWaCH</strong> member<br />
working in Kasba peth.<br />
Over the past two years <strong>SWaCH</strong> has been repeatedly trying to contact sanitary towels (S.Ts) and <strong>diaper</strong> manufacturing<br />
companies to discuss sustainable methods of <strong>disposal</strong> of their products. According to the provisions of Extended<br />
Producer’s Responsibility (EPR) included in the Plastic Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2011, notified by the<br />
Ministry of Environment and Forests on 4th February, 2011, the producers are required to finance, and organize a<br />
system for environmentally sound management of waste (especially non-biodegradable waste) generated from their<br />
products and to take responsibility for the end of life of their products Sanitary pads and <strong>diaper</strong>s cannot be recycled and<br />
are not biodegradable either. Companies need to look into the entire life cycle of their products – this includes issues<br />
related to direct handling as well as sustainable <strong>disposal</strong>.<br />
Wastepickers are suffering due to the complete inaction of these manufacturing companies. <strong>SWaCH</strong> therefore has time<br />
and again had to develop strategies and products to ensure that the health and dignity of wastepickers is preserved. This<br />
<strong>diaper</strong> <strong>disposal</strong> label is another step in this direction.<br />
To place an order, citizens can either call the <strong>SWaCH</strong> helpline 9765999500 or email swachcoop@gmail.com.<br />
Wastepickers truly hope that people understand the importance of using these identifiable <strong>labels</strong>. Why should they have<br />
to directly handle someone else’s bodily waste??<br />
