"organic" is not a word, i would use, to describe disposable nappies - even the "green" brands. Bleach wise, and what the packaging is made out of = yeh, but the landfill part - no.
"organic" assumes the product will break down and go back into the earth.
it is illegal to put poo nappies in compost - so you can't compost the poo nappies, and for my nb, that was MOST of her nappies.
to compost the wee nappies, you have to destroy the "green" disposable, and tear the absorbent bits into tiny pieces, i don't think most people would want to do that.
we used bambo nature disposables for the first five days in hospital, and every used one of those went to landfill. i felt much happier when at home, where i could use the bamboo prefolds and nb PUL covers with leg gussets, once gone thru the washing machine - they came out like brand new, they got used thousands of times, and then got used on other babies when they didn't fit my child anymore. it was easy (using a LIttle squirt to put the poo down the loo, and a working washing machine).
just putting it out there, there are other alternatives.
Google ecobabe store... They seem to have a few...
