Turning nappies into biochar

Pyrolysis is a climate-positive process that turns nappy waste into carbon products - biochar and activated carbon.

Sustainable disposable nappies

We incentivise the uptake of disposable nappies made from more sustainable plant-based materials. #freenappies

Free delivery and collection program

More sustainable disposable nappies are delivered to childcare centres where they are used by the childcare centres and parents. Used nappies are picked up from the childcare centre.

Divert landfill and store carbon in biochar

Used nappies are transported to NappyChar processing facilities where they are turned into biochar through pyrolysis. Tonnes of nappies are diverted from landfill and carbon is stored for millennia through this process.
