Over a decade ago, scientists discovered plastic-eating fungi in the Amazon and HIRO is now bringing these findings out of the lab and straight to consumers. Baby diapers are the number one plastic household waste item and the third most common item in landfills, and the MycoDigestible Diaper introduces a different solution for a brighter future. These high-performance diapers made with unbleached cotton are super-absorbent, and they come with plastic-eating fungi so that they break down in landfill.

The HIRO Diaper Bundle features HIRO Pouches that can be added to the MycoDigestible Diapers. Because the fungi recognizes plastic as food, it releases enzymes to begin breaking down the plastic, and absorb the molecules for fuel before decomposing into soil.

On Kickstarter, HIRO was successfully funded with the support of backers fighting the global plastic crisis.
