Developing patented technology to process natural fiber from agricultural waste to highly absorbent diaper material, Biodegradable & Compostable
Long description
Ubuni a social enterprise is developing patented technology to process natural fiber from what is considered as agricultural waste into a highly absorbent diaper material. Our 100% biodegradable and compostable diapers are made from agricultural waste which include pineapple, maize husk, bamboo fiber, banana fiber which are of the most absorbent natural fibers and abundant in Kenya. This is through a market based circular business innovation and environmental impact at scale to catalyze consumer behavior. Finally When diapers are composted they create a nutrient rich material that is added to soil to improve its quality. Compost containing certified compostable nappies is considered Soil Organic Matter (SOM).SOM is proven to improve water-holding capacity and aeration, enhances the absorption and release of nutrients, and makes soil less susceptible to leaching and erosion.
