Carbon Capture
What is carbon capture?
Carbon capture is the process of taking carbon out of the atmosphere, and storing it in a place where it cannot return. Carbon capture is a method used to reduce climate change since carbon dioxide is the most potent and abundant greenhouse gas. Carbon capture occurs naturally but there are also man-made machines/devices that can carbon capture as well.
Our use of carbon capture
Our diapers also tackle the issue of carbon dioxide emissions using carbon capture technology. Mycelium is a substance that's great at carbon capture, that's part of the reason we chose it. Our technology involves connecting our mycelium growing factory to another factory, that emits large amounts of carbon dioxide, with a smoke stack. The carbon dioxide emissions will be vented into the area where the mycelium is growing; as the mycelium grows it captures the carbon. Once the mycelium is grown, we use it as an absorbent material in our diapers. This way, we reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Since it is biodegradable, it also reduces methane emissions which would usually happen in the landfill.
