Pika Overview
Pika uses circular economy concepts to develop products designed to eliminate the use of plastics. The company is currently developing a compact machine that can clean up to 10 reusable diapers in a one-step process. Pika uses specific enzymes and cleaning agents that are dedicated to dissolving urine and feces. This sanitation process ensures that diapers don’t develop fungi or anything else that could harm the baby’s health.

Goodbye Disposables: It's A New Era For Cloth Diapers

The company aims to make cloth diapers more common and is expanding its scope to install machines in daycares and hospitals. Preorders are available in the US, with shipments expected to start in October. Pika plans to expand into Europe within the next six months.

A mini diaper-cleaning machine for reusable diapers
Alon Cohen, the CEO of PIKA Diapers, has developed a new diaper-cleaning machine that aims to make reusable cloth diapers more convenient for parents. The machine, called PIKA, can wash and sanitize 1-10 diapers without the need for pre-cleaning or soaking. It uses a patent-pending tablet to dissolve waste and eliminate germs, and future models will also include a dryer function. PIKA is currently sold in Israel and available for pre-order in the United States. The company is seeking investors and plans to offer a leasing model for customers. The machine has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, garbage, petroleum, and wood usage if widely adopted.
