Reusable nappies are much better for the environment than disposable nappies. However if you wash the reusable ones at a high heat with lots of water they can actually be worse than landfill clogging disposable ones. So they go best with low heat wash and an eco-friendly washing machine.

Nappies have a substandard effect on our environment.

Are reusable nappies more environmentally friendly than disposible nappies?
Absolutely! Especially with all of the environmentally friendly fibres that are now being used in modern cloth nappies such as bamboo, hemp and soy etc. Along with changes in washing habits, no longer are we soaking nappies in harsh chemicals we let the sun do what it does best and that's to kill bacteria.Not just are they more environmentally friendly they are also easy to use!With reusable nappies you are the one that decides what your ecological footprint will be based on how you wash the nappies, whether you use the dryer or hang on the line etc, with disposables you don't get that chance.I know in Australia we throw away enough disposable nappies to fill the MCG 7 times every year... how sad is that? Anyone who honestly thinks that disposables are on par with their environmental impact need to familiarise themselves with the revised nappy impact study done in the UK which has found that cloth are substantially better for the environment than disposables.
