June 5, 2007 -- A company names Consolidated EcoProgress of Vancouver, B.C., reports the creation of a new diaper design using a combination of reusable and flushable components. The design incorporates the company's Flushaway nanotechnology-based pads.

The nano diapers will go through some initial production reviews and user tests to validate the design while a patent application is prepared, the company says.

Flushaway replaces the standard disposable component with a flushable pad and promises significantly improved performance in an eco-friendly product. The company is considering several groups to manufacture the re-usable component of the diaper.


Ecoprogress is in discussions with several groups in India, Asia, and other countries to strengthen production and delivery, and tests and amendments to the nanotechnology film are continuing.

Flushaway pads and liners are now carried in K-Mart in the US, and Coles and Priceline in Australia. Product is also available in South Africa, the US Marines Corps worldwide and Bonjour in Hong Kong. Ecoprogress's first branded Flushaway product is a flushable feminine hygiene pad.
