PVC? You've gotta be kiddin' me!
Bukan, saya bukan sedang menyarankan untuk menggunakan PVC coating sebagai bahan popok kain. Cuma mau bagi bagi info sajah, bahwa laminasi, atau coating, atau apapun itu nyebutnya, selain PU (polyurethane) juga bisa menggunakan PVC. PVC alias polivinyl chloride itu sih katanyee bahaya yah dan ngga ramah lingkungan. Ngga sehat tentu utk kulit bayi. Nah kalo merasa menemukan kain kain waterproof gitu jangan keburu girang. Tanya dulu ini apaan, PVC bukan. Kalo PVC ya jangan dipake' yaaa.. Sempet juga lihat di trading compant cina, ada jg ternyata yang jualan popok kain dengan PVC sebagai bahan outer.

Bukan ape ape, jaga jaga aja, karena hasil pembakaran PVC bisa menimbulkan dioksin, gas pemicu kanker. Kalo literatur strict yang bilang PVC nda boleh buat popok sih belum nemu. Tapi berhubung popok kain bakal sering cuci jemur (panas matahari) dan bisa jadi direndam air panas, ya kita cautious aja yaa..

How do I minimize my exposure to PVC?
- Avoid the recycle symbol #3 or the letter V on plastic products (both of which indicate PVC).
- You may need to toss that rubber ducky in favor of toys made of other materials, like wood (with non-toxic finishes), metal, or cloth. If you do buy plastic toys, look for ones made of nonchlorinated plastics, such as polyethylene or polypropylene (recycle codes #2, #4 or #5). If it's not labeled, contact the manufacturer for more information before you buy it.
- Whenever possible look for plastic alternatives such as glass, ceramic that’s lead-free and stainless steel.
- Use your nose. Soft flexible plastic products that are made with PVC often have a very distinct odor, think of a new vinyl shower curtain. If you think that a product is made of PVC, contact the manufacturer and ask them directly about the materials used in the product or packaging and express your concerns about PVC. Swap out your vinyl shower curtain for one made of organic cotton or hemp.
- Check everyday items carefully before bringing them into your home. Some common hidden sources of PVC are backpacks, boots, diaper covers, handbags, raincoats, fake Christmas trees, imitation leather furniture, mattress covers, drinking straws, food containers, food wrap, plastic utensils, tablecloths, kids' swimming pools, garden hoses and inflatable furniture.
