Friendly Plastic-Eating Fungi
Our friendly fungi never touch the baby. In one simple step, just add our HIRO Pouch which house our friendly fungi.
The HIRO Diaper is the only diaper that is:
Truly unbleached
Made with a soft, cotton back sheet

We have developed the most thoughtful diaper in the world (seriously). We took the terrible parts of traditional diapers—the excess plastics, the waste, the guilt —and replaced them with materials so considerate, they’re loved by both your baby’s bum and our friendly, plastic-eating fungi.
The result? A no-compromise diaper that’s soft, powerful, and designed to nourish the planet instead of polluting it.
Super absorbent leak protection for up to 12 hours, day or night
Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist Tested
Mycodigestible™ (aka digested by fungi)
Unbleached Cotton Diaper and Wipes
HOW IT WORKS
Our HIRO Diapers are accompanied by the HIRO Pouch, which house our
friendly fungi.
Our friendly fungi stay dormant (asleep) in the HIRO Pouch until they come into contact with your baby’s pee or poop.
Just add the whole pouch to your baby’s dirty diaper during changing time. In a few weeks, nature will work its magic and start to
break down the diaper.
Much like other natural materials, plastics are made of carbon chains, making them the perfect food for fungi.
As you change your baby's diaper, just add our friendly HIRO fungi pouch and throw away as normal.
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Hear what real parents have to say:
“As a master father of four kids, this diaper is phenomenal — two blowouts and a pee and it worked beautifully. Plus, I feel so much safer for my children’s future.”
JOSHUA, CA
“I feel so good that this diaper works and my baby’s poop is fertilizing fungi the help with the plastic problem! It feels good on every level.”
MELISSA, NY
“10 out of 10 I choose HIRO Diaper on how it performed on my twins and for how good it makes me feel not to be generating double the waste.”
ILANA, TX
Inspired by Nature.
Designed in Austin.
Made in Canada.
To create a true shift in culture, one that supports baby, parent, and planet, we had to break away from the status quo. Traditional diapers use bleached, processed, and synthetic materials, leaving behind a legacy of waste.
Instead, our diaper uses unbleached cotton and softwood fluff pulp from sustainably managed forests. These materials are clean and gentle on your baby’s bottom and the planet.
On average, babies go through up to 6,000 diapers and take up to 400 years to breakdown. Each year, disposable diapers pile into landfills at a scale that could circle the Earth 33 times!
After use, our diaper makes the perfect snack for our friendly fungi. Accelerating decomposition to support a thriving ecosystem.
We believe in a diaper without compromises. Our HIRO Diaper is good for the Earth, super absorbent, designed for play and sleep, and made with materials that are soft as a flower petal.
Super Absorbent
Up to 12 hours protection both day and night.
Soft as a flower.
YOUR BABY, THE HIRO
Your baby’s poop and pee are the fertilizers that help our sleeping, friendly fungi grow and turn waste back into nature. AKA nature doing what nature does best.
Our fungi get to work breaking down your baby’s diaper, even in a landfill setting. A process that normally takes up to 400+ years can now happen in a fraction of that time.
It’s our ultimate hope for the future that not only will our fungi break down your baby’s diaper, but that they will break down other plastics in the landfill too, helping regenerate Mother Nature.
Add the whole pouch to the dirty diaper and throw it out. No need to open the pouch. It’s that simple.
FAQ
The carbon backbone of many plastics is fairly similar to the carbon backbone of lignin (hard stuff in trees), which fungi have evolved over millions of years to break down. So their enzymes have an ability to break down plastics as well.
Our vision is to be the global supplier of plastic eating fungi. Our hope is that these plastic eating fungi become the new norm for waste streams that either currently cannot or do not get recycled such as baby diapers. Follow our journey to bring this frontier technology to more products!
The opportunities are endless and by supporting you will also help support future fungal research. The version 1.1 is optimised for Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene (PE), which are also some of the most commonly used plastics in consumer products.
These are the same fungi breaking down trees in the forest today, we don't change or engineer them differently. If that were true then we wouldn't have forests but that’s not the case.
Besides supporting nature’s own ability to break down plastics, they will help accelerate the convergence of CO2 into the soil for plants to utilize for growth. In addition, these fungi help break down plastics into form that other things (e.g. various bugs) can use for nutrition.
Simply put, it will become soil. More detailed information is that the fungi help convert CO2 captured in the plastics into CO2 into the soil.
First and foremost, there are NO end of life solutions currently available for common plastics. Less than 10% even gets recycled and their processing is not ideal. Secondly, alternative “eco plastics” hurt agriculture and end up creating more microplastics. So this technology is an end of life solution for plastics that do NOT have a better alternative, and therefore it aligns and supports the philosophy of recycling as a movement.
