  • NADS Archive - 2004

    I received a CD with the following materials at a meeting of the National Association of Diaper Services (NADS) in Chicago during June 2004.  The archive was compiled on the behalf of NADS by Appoloosa Business Services.  All of these files are .PDF and require the Adobe Reader.  Many of the files are from large documents and are thus broken up into parts.  I am posting these files here to share with anyone who may be interested in them.  - Dennis Frederick, President - The All Together Diaper, Co.

    First there are two studies commonly refered to as the Lehrburger studies.  These were studies authored by Carl Lehrburger.  The studies appear to have been written for and paid for by NADS. 

    Study 1 - "Diapers: Environmental Impacts and Life Style Analysis" - January 1991

    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5
    Part 6

    Study 2 - "Diapers in the Waste Stream: A Review of Waste Management and Public Policy Issues" - December 1989

    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5

    These next two items are from  the Women's Environmental Network in the United Kingdom.  One is authored by them and one is commissioned by them.

    Study 1 - "Preventing Nappy Waste Background and Strategy For London" - July 1996

    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3

    Study 2 - "A Review of Proctor and Gamble's Environmental Balances For Disposable and Reusable Nappies" - July 1991

    Part 1
    Part 2

    The above seem to be the biggies.  The rest of the documents from the archive are listed below.  There may be some gems in here depending upon what your looking for.
