About this deal
There are bin liners you could use, but most of these aren’t biodegradable, so you’ll be adding to the world’s mountains of plastic waste. If you must use bags, make sure they’re properly BIOdegradable (like Branq Camping Bio bags).
We actually use a potette (this is the newer version http://www.mothercare.com/Potette-PLUS-Travel-Potty-Trainer/dp/B001CFQWHW) By all accounts, festival toilets have come a long way. The loos at Camp Bestival weren’t all bad and we definitely favoured the compostable toilets– there’s no wet flush, you simply toss sawdust inside. The smell is much less potent in these loos, but a word of warning: don’t look down!

Take your own anti-bacterial gel as the dispensers provided frequently run out. Also carry a little soap and use the Water points to wash hands when you can as nothing beats good old soap and water. It took two years to get the product to market but by 2010 BoginaBag was selling well and receiving some fantastic press. Keen to move the product forward Kate took the decision in 2011 to enter the “Dragons Den.” She explained that the nearest toilets were an hour's paddle away. So he said he would figure something out.Some people suggest using cat litter instead of a liquid. The problem is that it can’t be composted or flushed, so will just have to be put in a rubbish bin. The alternative is an absorbent powder that soaks up fluids and instantly turns to gel. Again, though, it’s headed for a bin.

Kate Castle came to Innovate Product Design to develop her idea for a portable toilet after identifying nothing else on the market which provided a decent solution. After completing a full budget planner and getting an investor on board, Kate then applied for a patent and registered design images. Once those were done she approached UK and Chinese manufacturers directly.
