The Nappy Recycling Process

Knowaste’s recycling process is the world’s first, proven environmentally friendly, and cost effective solution to meeting the global challenge of nappy and/or adult incontinence waste.

We can customise a recycling facility to meet the needs of a particular community or region through a large or small scale recycling facility.

The process involves three key stages:

  1. Used nappies and/or incontinence products are collected and transported to a Knowaste processor or plant.
  2. The Knowaste process washes the nappy material and mechanically separates the individual components so the super absorbent polymers, wood pulp and plastic can be recycled
  3. The reclaimed components - pulp fibres, super absorbent polymers, and plastic components can be made into recycled products
