biochar collaborators

Diaper Stork is working hard to keep diapers out of landfills. Thanks to an Industrial Symbiosis grant from the Department of Commerce's Climate Commitment Act, we're testing a process called pyrolysis that turns plant-based diapers into a nutrient-rich material called biochar, a valuable byproduct for carbon sequestration and soil enrichment. This work has led to recognition from the NextCycle Washington Accelerator program, who awarded Diaper Stork with "Best Innovation Pitch".

To further our efforts, we're seeking additional partners in the Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia areas, who have byproducts (chaff, sawdust, etc.) that we can pick up and use as co-feed stock. Please contact us if you have such material and would like to join the eco-conscious companies below who support our mission.

What is Biochar?
Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis of organic matter, which has been recognized for its ability to enhance soil fertility by improving nutrient retention and can also be used in water filtration. One of the most exciting aspects of our grant is the ability to explore biochar processing as a diaper waste solution.

Interested in Purchasing Biochar?
With our "Diapers to Biochar" program underway, we're now seeking additional partners in the Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia areas who are interested in acquiring biochar for farming and other landscape needs. Please contact us if you'd like to learn more about biochar uses.
