57% Informative
Each HIRO MycoDigestible Diaper comes with a small packet of shelf-stable, plastic-eating fungi.
Once the diaper reaches a landfill, the fungi activate in the presence of moisture and begin to break down the diaper’s materials from the inside out.
These fungi secrete enzymes that target and sever the carbon bonds in plastic, transforming the waste into soil.
