Portable restrooms have a dynamic impact on the world’s water supply. Each day 125 Million gallons of water is saved around the world because people use portable restrooms rather than a flushing toilet. On an annual basis, that equals over 45 Billon gallons of water saved!

In addition, portable restrooms protect our water sources from the devastating effects of contamination that can be deadly to people, animals and aquatic vegetation. They also increase our productivity, save fuel and improve our standard of living. As simple as it may seem, when we use a portable restroom we are contributing to the preservation of our natural resources, protecting society from potential health and enhancing human dignity.

Saving Our Natural Resources!

On any job site the presence of portable restrooms increases productivity by keeping workers on-site. In the construction market the hours saved translates into countless millions of rupees, perhaps billions, on an annual basis.The mining industry, with remote drilling sites, utilizes thousands of portable restrooms. Large manufacturing and processing facilities, where work is performed outside, also use portable restrooms to improve productivity.Hours are money and portable restrooms provide the best return of any rental equipment where labour is the biggest expense.

Portable restrooms preserve and protect our natural resources

Portable restrooms play an important role in the effort to preserve and protect our natural resources in many ways.Millions of gallons of fossil fuel are saved each day because people have access to Portable restrooms on the job, in recreational areas and at special events, eliminating the need to drive to permanent facilities. Thousands of permanent restrooms facilities were never built, saving countless resources, because Portable restrooms easily fulfil the need for temporary or seasonal facilities. In addition, Portable restrooms themselves are recyclable, usually lasting 15-30 years before the plastic and metal are reused for other purposes.And most importantly, protecting our natural resources from contamination saves untold millions of lives. We live in a world where 54% of the population still relieve themselves on the ground, resulting in the death of over 2 million people caused by diarrheal diseases. Of these, most are children.

Portable restrooms greatly improve our standard of living

The portable restroom industry has been taking care of our most basic needs for over 14 years. As a result, our standard of living has improved dramatically.  Consider what private, safe portable restrooms have added to parks, sports facilities, construction sites, special events and other places where people congregate for work or play, and it is easy to recognize how valuable they are to a better way of life.

Portable restrooms provide a critical service after a natural

disaster

Immediately following the rescue of anyone in harm’s way, drinking water and portable sanitation become the most critical need.It isn’t just the homeless who need Portable restroom facilities. There are rescue and power crews, public utility workers, NSS and many relief organisations who descend upon the community to offer help and support.The work of Portable restroom operators to provide these vital services prevents even further suffering and devastation by eliminating the contamination of drinking water and the spread of communicable diseases.In times of great suffering, Portable restroom operators offer people dignity and safety until the community is finally back on its feet.

Living the dream of Mahatma Gandhi…..

“India will be truly independent when every citizen of India will have access to a toilet”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Even today 54% of the population of India defecates openly.

Present Conditions of toilets in India

2.6 billion people in the world -- two-thirds of whom are in southern or eastern Asia -- are living without access to basic sanitation

40 percent of the world’s population, lacking access to proper sanitation , expected to rise to 50% by 2025.

An estimated 665 million Indians, one in every two, lack access to a toilet.

In developing countries 80 percent of all disease results from a combination of poor hygiene, contaminated water and poor sanitation.

According to UNICEF, a gram of human feces has 10 million viruses, 1 million bacteria and 12,000 parasites.

Millions of deaths due to poor sanitationTwo million deaths caused annually by water-borne

diseases.One survey showed that 30 per cent of people "hold

it" rather than use a public toilet, 40 per cent flush the toilet with their feet and 60 per cent hover over the seat.

A child dies every 15 seconds by diarrhea, mainly caused by poor sanitation and water supply.

Diarrhea caused by bad sanitation kills nearly 6,000 children a day-an annual toll of two million deaths.

India - Poor sanitation A survey by Water Aid (international NGO) has ranked

India second on the list of the “WORLDS WORST PLACE FOR SANITATION”

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. However, less than 20 % of Indians have access to sanitation.

In rural areas, a mere 3% of the population has access to sanitation

In urban areas merely 20% of the population has access to water /flush toilets connected to sewage system .

Why is it so ????

We propose – Proactive way of dealing with problems

At rural areasAt high altitudeAt disaster locationsAt construction sitesAt Migrant labor camps… Where toilets cannot be

constructed…

Giving hope…
