Sapporo lists a medical and care-facility diaper recycler among supported projects

Japan

Sapporo City lists Sustainable Create’s development of a used-diaper recycling device for medical and care facilities among projects selected for its 2025 healthcare-business support programme.

The programme combines business advice, assistance with market testing and opportunities to develop partnerships. The selected project is explicitly aimed at institutional care, making it relevant to the disposal of adult incontinence products.

Selection for business support is not a certification of recycling performance. The city’s page does not establish achieved recovery rates or routine commercial deployment. It was updated in July 2026, but the original date on which this selection was first published is not identified.
