This temporary toilet for use in emergency situations or remote locations is fully recyclable and biodegradable. It ships flat and can be air dropped or shipped in quantity. Plastic liners may be sealed for sanitary disposal; after the liners are used up, the base may be burned as fuel.

• The height may be adjusted for elderly or disabled users by placing the unit on any stable surface.

"This is an extraordinarily accomplishment-a design that is elegant in its simplicity, addressing enormous social and environmental issues." - Imre Molnar, IDSA, Dean of Academics, College for Creative Studies
