Drylock and Love & Green have announced a revolutionary innovation in the form of the world’s first compostable diaper. Combining softness and high-class performance, the new product is essentially biobased and biodegradable at the same time. Always pushing the boundaries of sustainability, both companies have already developed and marketed various hygiene products with distinct ecological features, such as unbleached fluff, biobased liners and paper packaging. The recent two-year research project now culminates in the development of a biodegradable and compostable diaper.
 
In other news, German hygiene company pelzGROUP is looking to marry the worlds of disposables and textiles with a new product innovation that comprises a pair of traditional underpants with a pocket to contain a five by 20 millimeter disposable absorbent string containing a high superabsorbent polymer concentration. Unlike, disposable or washable absorbent underwear, the incorporation of a replaceable high performance absorbent liner allows for easier changes after insult because the wearer can slip the pad in and out without removing the complete garment. This allows to dispose urine in smaller charges enabling the use of more or less regular underwear even for people suffering from medium incontinence.
