***World's First Renewable Nappy***

Join in and contribute on an epic Circular Economy Australia project.

We are so proud, especially as a parents to be part of the gCycle revolution.

29 billion disposable nappies end up in or our oceans every year in the US, UK and Australia. Obviously much higher numbers globally.

Imagine using and throwing away between 5-12 bottles of water a day. These are nappies. A cup of oil to produce, they never disappear and they are heavily toxic once wasted.

gCycle founded by gDiapers, a Cradle to Cradle product has created the worlds first solution. A nappy delivered to nurseries which is collected and transformed into cool things like soil, power or fuel.

Having worked with the team on this truly Circular Economy solution for the last 4 years. We are now looking to the world, starting in the UK with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, welcoming community contributions, as we continue to trial and innovate towards our goal.

We believe gCycle has the power to divert millions of nappies from landfill for good and we would love your help to do it.

Please join us. We need you. We need to know the world cares enough to want to support this change. Nappies out of landfill for good!

Join in by liking gCycle and share with those who you know care about a future.

Never underestimate the power of what a group of committed citizens can do. Bethechange!

Thank You. Bring on the future. We are excited, are you?

gCycle is a world-first PAAS (Product As A Service) featuring a plastic-free nappy, delivery, collection and composting service.

This is the new category of nappy.

Not reusable. Not disposable. 100% renewaable.

We have been very quiet recently at Circular Economy Australia but there is good reason and now we are excited to bring you in on the secret.

We have been working with gCycle who have developed the World's First Renewable Nappy!

Nappies are a single use, primarily plastic product that we use a crazy amount of. 80 million a year in Aus, 3 billion a year in the UK and over 50 million a year in the US.

gDiapers has developed gCycle a full solution that delivers, collects and processes nappies, transforming them into valuable resources like nutrient rich soil and electricity.

This is a Circular Economy that is going to transform the nappy, waste and renewable markets and we want to invite you to watch the developments as they unfold.

We welcome your passion to join us by signing up to our updates. So much more to come, huge thanks in advance for your support.
