how our service contributes to our mission
Our diaper service also contributes directly to the realization of our mission.
The Woosh service not only helps us to relieve the logistical burden of childcare, it also allows us to have a separate
waste stream for diapers. A necessary condition for diaper recycling!
SEPARATE WASTE COLLECTION
Woosh's mission is to make single-use diapers circular and close the diaper chain. But that is not possible without separate collection of diaper waste. Something that did not exist in Belgium until recently. And also the reason why there was no diaper recycling yet. Diaper recycling and separate collection of diaper waste go together. One cannot exist without the other.
To break this chicken-and-egg paradox, we decided to take matters into our own hands and set up our own waste stream. The smart diaper service for daycare centers and childminders that we link to this allows us to collect waste in an affordable, environmentally friendly and efficient way. This way, we remain the owner of the used Woosh diapers and take our responsibility throughout the entire chain.
EFFICIENT RETURNS LOGISTICS
To achieve our mission, we use reverse logistics: we ensure that the diapers end up back with us after use. For the logistics world, the holy grail, for us a core principle in our operation. In order to tackle the collection of diaper waste as sustainably as possible, we combine the delivery of new diapers with the collection of used diapers, both in the same trip.
Advantages:
- our vehicles never drive around empty
- lower CO₂ emissions
- less pollution
- less impact on traffic
SUSTAINABLE WASTE CONTAINERS
We also opted for a sustainable approach for our waste containers:
- made from 100% recycled plastic
- easily stackable for efficient and space-saving transport
- cleaned after use with eco-detergent and with waste water recovery
LET'S JOIN FORCES!
Although we have come a long way, we are always looking for new opportunities to make our diapers circular. Do you have insights, materials or techniques that can help us and do you want to make an impact in the field of diaper circularity?
