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.
