Diaper Stork Wins NextCycle Innovation Award

Diaper Stork is honored to have received the Innovation Best Pitch Prize as part of NextCycle Washington’s 2025 Circular Accelerator. The program gave us a platform to spotlight a significant source of landfill waste that’s often overlooked: disposable diapers.

As a company committed to reducing diaper waste, we’re proud to stand alongside innovators working toward a cleaner, more circular future.

NextCycle Washington is a circular economy accelerator supporting early-stage businesses, nonprofits, and collaborations focused on waste reduction and material recovery. The program offers technical assistance, mentorship, and access to investors and public stakeholders to help turn big ideas into scalable solutions for a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient economy.

The Cohort

Diaper Stork was proud to be part of a visionary cohort tackling environmental challenges like textile waste and plastic pollution. From transforming agricultural byproducts into green building materials to using plastic eating enzymes for cleaner water, these companies are shaping a circular economy through innovation, collaboration, and a deep commitment to sustainability. We recommend exploring all the projects in the cohort, as they’re incredibly inspiring.

"I am grateful that Diaper Stork was chosen to participate in the NextCycle Accelerator," said Carrie Pollak, Diaper Stork's CEO. "The energy, support, and connections from all those involved was truly inspiring."
