As more and more event planners and organisers strive for sustainability, we look at how event toilet hire can help, and the part it plays in creating an eco-friendly event for all.
Why sustainability at events is important
As we have become more aware of environmental issues and the need to create a sustainable world for future generations, the events industry has seen a shift towards eco-friendly events. The benefits to organisers are clear, by conserving energy and water and by using sustainable materials, organisers can reduce the carbon footprint of their events. Additionally, organising an environmentally friendly event is a great way to show a commitment to sustainability, which will improve brand reputation among customers and clients.
In the long term, events will impact positively on the planet by preserving our environment through waste reduction, conservation of resources and reduced carbon emissions.
How eco-friendly is event toilet hire?
At JB Event Facilities we supply vacuum toilet pods and fresh flush portable toilets to all types of events, from large sporting events such as the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to music festivals and much more. As suppliers of portable event toilets, we are keen to reduce the environmental impact of our industry and overturn the less than positive impact it has previously had a reputation for. With advances in technology, our products are more eco-friendly today than ever before.
Fresh Flush portable toilets
The most recent addition to our fleet of luxury toilets for hire, the Luxury 5 Bay Fresh Flush is the very best of the eco-friendly toilets available in today’s market. Each trailer has 5 individual toilet cubicles with a foot-operated flushing system, plus hot and cold running water.
Benefits of the Fresh Flush portable toilets
- Energy-saving – Fresh Flush trailers have solar panels along their entire length and width, which are sufficient to generate all the electricity the trailer needs, even in the winter. No mains electricity supply, or generator, is required. The cubicle taps are gravity fed so no power-heavy pumps are needed.
- Water-saving - each trailer has its own hot water system, removing the need for a mains water supply. Each toilet uses just 0.3 litres of water per flush, compared to the 5-7 litres used by a traditional flushing toilet and handwashing water is recycled and used for flushing.
- Eco-friendly paper consumables – our UK sourced paper products are 100% recycled.
- Chemical-free – the fresh Flush systems use no blue chemicals making them completely chemical-free.
Vacuum toilets
Using cutting-edge vacuum technology, our vacuum pods are popular at all types of events. As part of our luxury toilet range, the pods feature ceramic toilets and basins, hot and cold running water and vanity areas with large, well-lit mirrors. We supply luxury vacuum male toilet pods, luxury vacuum female toilet pods, luxury vacuum urinal pods, and a luxury accessible vacuum pod.
Benefits of vacuum toilets
- Water-saving – as water is not used for the flush system, but only to rinse the bowl, each time a toilet is used, only half of one litre of water is used.
- Chemical-free – as no water is used for flushing, the chemicals normally added to the water to maintain hygiene levels are not needed, making the pods 100% chemical-free.
- In service constantly – unlike traditional flushing portable toilets which have to be taken out of service for emptying, a vacuum toilet requires no downtime as waste tanks can be emptied in 1-3 minutes.
- Queue-busting – a vacuum toilet completes a cycle more quickly than a traditional toilet, allowing uses to pass through them more quickly. This increased availability helps maintain a steady flow of traffic.
- Suppliers’ portability – when delivering vacuum toilets, we can deliver 2 vacuum pods and one vacuum tank in one load (with traditional toilet units, we can only transport one at a time). This allows us to reduce our fuel consumption and carbon emissions, making us much more energy-efficient.
- Eco-friendly paper consumables – our UK sourced paper products are 100% recycled.
