In a groundbreaking move, a Japanese company has introduced the world’s first “horizontally” recycled nappies, catering to the changing demand for diapers in an aging society. Unicharm, based in Kagoshima, has launched adult and baby nappies that are identical to the originals they were recycled from, using advanced sterilization and deodorizing technology to ensure hygiene and comfort. The innovative products have already been well-received in hospitals and nursing care facilities, with plans to expand their availability to the general public. As Japan’s demographics shift, with declining demand for children’s nappies and a growing market for elderly care products, this eco-friendly initiative is set to make a significant impact on the industry.
