Dyper, popularly known as DYPER, is an American brand of plant-based diapers. Founded in 2014 by Sergio Radovcic, Dyper was founded to create a 'safely compostable diaper', minimizing environmental impact. The company's main product, their bamboo diapers, are sold both direct to consumer on a subscription model, and in retail stores.

In 2020, the company raised $20m to expand their product range into other ranges in the baby and body categories. Dyper's product range includes plant-based training pants and cloth diapers, as well as wipes, creams and lotions.

History

Dyper was founded in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2019 by Sergio Radovcic, a serial entrepreneur, as a challenger-brand 'sustainable alternative to traditional disposable diapers'.[1] Phoenix Magazine noted Dyper 'originated from an idea that formed in [Radovcic's] mind while he wheeled garbage cans filled with his kids’ diapers week after week'.[2] AP quoted their mission as 'to divert diapers from landfills'.[3][4]

In 2020, Dyper acquired Earth Baby, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, which had been the only diaper composting service in the United States since 2008.[5] The acquisition brought pickup and delivery to customers in the Bay Area, and allowed for expansion via local market delivery and in house composting.[6] The company announced plans for local market expansion into Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.[7] By 2021, Dyper had 48 employees.[1]

By early 2022, Dyper announced expansion to Thrive Market, followed by its first 'brick and mortar' availability in Whole Foods.[8][9][10] This was followed by Walmart later in 2022.[11][12][13] In late 2022, Forbes named Dyper the 'diaper delivery service of the year'.[14]

In April 2022, Dyper announced a partnership with rePurpose Global to remove plastic waste from the environment, and their intention to be 'the first plastic-neutral diapers'.[15][16] They later announced they had removed 100,000 kg of plastic waste from the environment.[17][18] Later in the year, Dyper announced they had become a B-Corp, and their intention to be 'the first plastic-neutral diapers'.[15][16]

REDYPER and other

REDYPER was announced by Dyper in 2020, partnering with TerraCycle to allow customers to 'compost [their diapers] by mail'.[19][20][21][3] The Verge noted Dyper is the first compostable diaper, and the program works on a subscription model as an add-on service, sending boxes for users to return their diapers with.[22][23][24][25]

Funding

In October 2019, Dyper received investment from HCAP Partners.[26] In 2020, Dyper raised a further $20m from existing investor HCAP and others.[27][28]
