Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended April 12, 2025.
 
Hiro Technologies officially launched the world’s first MycoDigestible Diapers (means “digested by fungi”), a first-of-its-kind product designed to break down in a landfill thanks to fungi-powered decomposition technology. Co-founded by serial entrepreneurs Miki Agrawal (Thinx, Tushy) and Tero Isokauppila (Four Sigmatic), Hiro’s launch marks the debut of an entirely new category of sustainability—a natural end-of-life solution for plastic waste, beginning with the one item parents can’t live without.
 
Meanwhile, Shalag Group has opened a new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in South Hill, VA. This investment will create 52 new jobs and significantly enhance the company’s production capacity, reinforcing its commitment to serving a U.S. customer base with high-quality nonwoven fabrics.
