A rapidly aging population is leaving Japan awash with a smelly problem: piles of dirty diapers. With 28 million citizens aged 65 or older, Japan is going through more than 5 billion adult diapers annually. One company, SuperFaiths, is finding a new life for all those nappies - its SFD Recycle System dries, crushes, and sterilizes used diapers before turning the material into pellets for use in stoves and biomass boilers.

That's brilliant! I think there's a lot of low-hanging fruit like this we could probably take advantage of if we could get over some of our revulsion to things like recycling poop.

Stinky diapers being turned into biomass pellets. I can see some irony in that!
