New Service Translates Information From Your Baby's Stool into Wellness Recommendations Parents Can Use


TRENTON, N.J., April 20, 2023 - That dirty diaper isn't trash. It conveniently carries a sample of your baby's stool and when analyzed, can provide parents with important information regarding how to help support the healthiest possible start in life.

Research has shown that the beneficial microbiome in a baby's tummy starts to set by the age of three. These microbes can have major effects on supporting brain development, weight regulation, the immune system and much more. By taking advantage of this window of opportunity to bolster beneficial microbes, parents have the power to make a lasting, positive impact on their child's future health and well-being.

TerraCycle Discovery®, a division of TerraCycle®, announces the launch of the FIRST wellness diagnostic that uses waste as a sample carrier. tiniest Biome™ is a service that provides a snapshot of a baby's current tummy microbiome through their dirty diaper.

How tiniest Biome™ Works:

Bag It: Drop a dirty diaper into our collection kit.
Unlock: Access a snapshot of the key microbes linked to your baby's brain development, healthy weight regulation and more.
Act: Receive targeted tips & food recommendations based on those results to help bolster the beneficial microbes.
"TerraCycle is continuously working to develop new and innovative ways to work with waste," said TerraCycle Founder and CEO, Tom Szaky. "Where others see garbage that has reached the end of its life, we see opportunities. tiniest Biome is an example of that. It's a service that takes one of the most quintessential waste items - dirty diapers - and explores the microbial ecosystem in the stool sample to help parents set their babies up for a lifetime of wellness."

tiniest Biome™ is available throughout the contiguous United States, excluding New York and Delaware. Visit tiniestbiome.com for more information.
