Abstract:
One embodiment provides a modular green roof tray, house plant growth media and horticulture growth media, and a tree protection mat for weed and moisture control made from recycled disposable diapers. The growth medium and tree protection mat contain superabsorbent materials from diaper that can absorb waters and greatly reduce irrigation so to provide a drought resistant feature. One embodiment also provides a manufacturing process to perform 100% recycling of disposed diapers.

Claim (Index 39):
A tree or plant protection mat, for placement around a trunk or stem of the tree or plant, to protect said tree or plant, comprising:\n a top cover plate consisting of woven polypropylene fabric; a center layer disposed beneath the cover plate and comprising superabsorbent polymer particles wherein the superabsorbent polymer particles comprise polyacrylic acid polymer, polyacrylate polymer, starch-grafted polymer, polyacrylamide, ethylene maleic anhydride polymer, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, starch grafted copolymer of polyacrylonitrile, Group IA salts of polyacrylic acids, copolymer of two or more thereof, or any combination thereof; and a semipermeable bottom layer disposed beneath the center layer; a sidewall, extending around a perimeter of the mat, and connecting the top cover plate to the semipermeable bottom layer; wherein the top cover plate and semipermeable bottom layer are sealed to the sidewall at their perimeter edges by sewing, gluing, or heat sealing, or any combination thereof, to sandwich the center layer between the top cover plate and semipermeable bottom layer; wherein the top cover plate reduces or prevents evaporative water loss from the center layer; and wherein the semipermeable bottom layer permits water to seep out from the center layer, when the mat is placed around a trunk or stem of the tree or plant.
