Hiro, a startup founded by Miki Agrawal and Tero Isokauppila, presents an innovative biodegradable diaper solution incorporating plastic-eating fungi. Since the launch of disposable diapers in 1948, environmental concerns have surged due to their plastic composition, leading to pollution and landfill issues. With over 300,000 diapers discarded every minute, the urgency for eco-friendly alternatives has grown. Hiro’s approach aims to not only reduce plastic waste but also leverage fungi, known for their decomposition abilities, creating a potential breakthrough in sustainable parenting.
Hiro, a newly launched startup, has launched a diaper that comes with a packet of plastic-eating fungi, which the company says will enable the diaper to biodegrade in the landfill.
Agrawal has always been interested in tackling taboo issues, and when her son Hiro was born, she wanted to develop a diaper that was less harmful to the planet.
