This study has also emphasised onhow the negative impacts will be reduces by invention of a close substitute by the scientist. Thestudy will focus on identifying the exact problem, its rationale, questions to be asked whileresearching and solving the problem and the method of solution. Problem Statement According to the research done and presented in the reports by Nappies-sustainibility Victoria,(2019), it has been found out that every day a whopping 3.75 million nappies are disposed off inAustralia.
