MANILA, Philippines — A non-profit organization dedicated to understanding the world’s plastic addiction, promoting new material innovations, and acting against plastic waste, recently launched a campaign that seeks to raise funds to provide reusable diaper kits to 300 affected families in Bicol region. However, disposable diapers in relief operations don't last long and families will have to start buying again,” Rethink Plastic said. In view of this, Rethink plastic is also seeking to raise P240,000 or ($5,000) until December 25 to provide reusable diaper kits to 300 babies affected by the typhoon. “One kit costs $30/Php 1,500, and contains 3 reusable diapers and 30 inserts that will help families save money. In late October, the organization said there are more than 1,300 mothers from five coastal communities who signed up to its campaign and are interested to make the switch to reusable diapers.
