HIRO Technologies featured in Nature Biotechnology

HIRO Technologies, third place winner of The Future is Fungi Award, has been featured in Nature Biotechnology for their work using fungi to break down diapers, a major yet often ignored source of long-lasting waste.

Their approach highlights the potential of mycelium innovation: transforming persistent waste into part of a regenerative cycle. It’s a powerful example of how fungi can move beyond the lab and into everyday solutions.

We’re proud to have HIRO as part of our award community, driving forward the future of fungi one diaper at a time.
