HOLZFEDER / Compostable diaper

Project Work in cooperation with Weitzer Woodsolutions
HOLZFEDER / Kompostierbare Windel

“Woodfeather” is a compostable diaper that utilizes pressed wood scraps from the wood industry instead of absorbent silica gel as it is used today. Silica gel is a synthetic product that requires a lot of energy and water to produce. Urinary incontinence is common with many people at an older age. Incontinence is a very sensitive subject matter, and the consequences of high diaper consumption are often overlooked. The introduced product is environmentally friendly, and made from renewable, natural resources.
