I saw that, and I am still confused as to exactly how they are recycling the diapers.

Not a very well-written article.

What about vertical recycling? Perpendicular? Parallel? 🤣

I've seen people out there, no one can parallel recycle. They just keep moving it forward and backward.

 

A little Googling and an 18 month old story...

First 'Horizontal' Recycling

Collected used diapers are crushed, washed and materials separated at a demonstration facility located in the So Recycling Center in Osaki Town. The cleaned materials are then treated with ozone to reduce bacteria, bleached, and deodorized. They are then reprocessed into products at a Unicharm facility.

Then they're not doing it right. Some scientist out there surely can figure out how to parallel recycle. It's the challenge of the 22nd century! 🤡🤣
