DycleHow Diapers Become Fruit Trees
On average, one baby goes through 4,500 diapers in its lifetime. Once diapers are disposed, they contribute to 10% of household waste. In this way, in Germany, around 500,000 tons of disposable diapers are incinerated every year, producing waste which amounts to more than 12,000 trucks in a row. Ms. Ayumi Matsuzaka intends to target this issue through her Berlin-based startup Dycle.
