Triggers for investing in a toilet


The Peepoo is a personal single use toilet, that sanitizes human excreta shortly after defecation, preventing the faeces from contaminating the immediate and larger environment.

The toilet is a high technology product for a low economy. As with the original Tetra-Pak, it uses a minimum of material while providing maximum hygiene.
Recognizing consumer needs, the Peepoo is formulated from a bottom up perspective putting the user’s need first. Ergonomically designed to be easy and hygienic to use, simple and rational to produce, and thus possible to be sold to groups with the weakest purchasing power, the Peepoo offers a sanitation choice for both individuals and society at large.

Personal
The Peepoo is personal, as in personal computer; it is mobile, as in mobile phone; and micro, as in Microsoft. User-friendly and advanced, yet simple and cheap, the Peepoo offers a high degree of contemporary status.
The Peepoo is personal in the sense that it can be used whenever and wherever needed. It can be used NOW, there is no need to wait for public or political action. As the Peepoo is never used, never occupied, and always clean, it allows the user complete privacy.
The Peepoo can work as an every day toilet or as a complementary sanitation system at night, at work, or at school. Due to its low price, it can be used regularly at home or only when ill. It can be given as a gift.
Since no investments or up-front money are needed, the use of the Peepoo does not encumber the future.

Soft approach
The Peepoo eliminates fixed and hard infrastructure for a soft approach to sanitation and excreta management. The soft approach allows different service systems to establish themselves. After use, the Peepoo provides value as fertilizer which enables collection and disposal systems to arise, informally or formally, private or public, small scale or large scale. They can evolve over time, slowly or quickly, according to contextual circumstances.
The design of the bag offers a clean and hygienic way of excreta management, helping to cut the stigma normally connected with this service.
The Peepoo thus has the capacity to work as a development strategy on different levels.

Independently sustainable
Due to its self-sanitizing function, the Peepoo, even if no collection or disposal services are available or yet developed, does not contaminate the environment. The traditional link between water and sanitation is cut. As a single unit, the Peepoo is independently sustainable. Every user contributes to society.

The Peepoo offers a sanitation solution adapted to the needs of the user without endangering the environment
