Fresh flush portable toilets 06 March 2023 As a business constantly looking for ways to improve our carbon footprint, we are pleased to introduce our new Fresh Flush portable honeywagon to our fleet of luxury toilet trailers. Mindful of the impact our industry can have on the environment, we continually strive to adapt our way of working to minimise the environmental consequences of what we do. For this reason this year, 2023, we have invested in a range of eco-friendly Fresh Flush Systems. We have also recently been approved as a We Are Albert Supplier as we try to improve our way of working and subsequently our carbon footprint on the world within the film industry. What is a Fresh Flush portable toilet system? Showcasing the latest design in portable toilets, the Fresh Flush honeywagon is the most eco-friendly portable toilet currently on the market. Features of the Fresh Flush System We have worked closely with the UK based manufacturer to design these new toilet facilities with the following features: Self-generating power supply Each unit is powered by its own solar panels so no mains supply or generators are required. The solar panels span the width and length of the unit which maximises the output and increases the energy that can be stored internally in the batteries. This means that even in the winter, the toilet facilities can be run off the solar panels rather than a 16 amp mains connection. Water saving Each flush is powered by a foot-operated flush which starts a low-energy 12-volt pump that flushes the toilet and refills the bowl. This method uses only 0.3 litres of water per flush compared to a normal home toilet which uses between 5-7 litres per flush. The hand wash is recycled and used as the flush in each toilet cubicle in order to save water. This combined with each tap for hand water being gravity fed, helps reduce our water and power consumption as we don’t rely on heavy-duty waste or water pumps which reduces the need for additional power. Eco-friendly consumables We use 100% recycled toilet paper in all of our units and source all our consumables from suppliers who manufacture in the UK. We also ensure that when we purchase consumables, we buy in bulk to limit the transportation costs and our carbon footprint on the planet. Chemical-free No blue chemicals are used within the system making it 100% chemical-free.
