Jules Van Malderen, business development director at Drylock Technologies comments: “We are committed to naturality and circularity, so to have a global first compostable diaper was an obvious target for us. However, it was not easy - and together with our commercial and scientific partners, we were constantly on the edge of what is currently technologically possible. At this point in time, we do not recommend people to compost soiled diapers at home, for reasons of health and hygiene. However, by launching this diaper, we allow institutes like hospitals and kindergartens, where products are used professionally and can be efficiently collected, to choose an ecofriendly, low impact solution.”
To guarantee a product performance that is comparable to other top grade baby diapers, the product concept is based on Drylock’s proprietary and patented channels technology, as well as on other technologies in the field of nonwovens and bio compositions, for which patents are pending.
Drylock and Love&Green stress the importance of being fully compostable. Van Malderen explains why: “Intellectually, there is no such thing as being partially compostable. Either you’re compostable - or you're not.”
