Comparison of Dyper’s Biochar technology and Redyper program

Dyper's diaper products are made from plant-based materials. To reduce the amount of waste that needs to be landfill, the company previously launched its Redyper program, which converts used diapers and wet wipes into nutrient-rich topsoil for large-scale garden landscaping, road landscaping and sod planting.

The company recently introduced a new technology called Biochar technology, which converts used diapers into biochar and can be used to improve soil, clean air and water, and as an additive in paints and inks. The technology, which is scheduled to be used for the first time in 2023, it will reduce the amount of waste that needs to be landfill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

With the use of Biochar technology, the Redyper program will gradually be replaced.

Other advantages of biochar technology:

The handling time is greatly reduced compared to the composting method.

Carbon can be sequestered in soil through a process called carbon sequestration, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas.

Biochar is used for a wide range of purposes, including as a soil amendment, as an aid in air purification and water filtration, and as an additive in paints and ink pigments.

Efficient Biochar reactors require less space and less energy than composting facilities.

The Byochar reactor can process 2t of diapers per day, about 7,200 diapers per 10 hours and 12 diapers per minute.

80% reduction in mass after converting post-use diapers and wipes to biochar. For example, 100 pounds of dry diapers can produce about 20 pounds of biochar.

In the future, Biochar technology may be applied to other brands of diaper products, which would effectively reduce diaper waste.
