Ethical and eco-friendly toilet hire 18 June 2024 Since George Harding developed the plastic portable toilet in the 70s and the luxury toilet trailer in the 80s, our industry has come a long way, and today we strive to be as environmentally-aware as possible. Here’s how… In today’s world where everyone understands the need to preserve our precious resources, sustainability is key. At Fortis Hire, we strive towards reducing our carbon footprint while supplying a wide choice of the very best luxury toilets for hire, that help our clients to do the same. The way we conduct our business, and the products we supply, are designed to preserve our planet for future generations. Eco-friendly portable vacuum toilets At the forefront of portable toilet technology, our vacuum toilets are one of the most eco-friendly options on the market. Using vacuum technology, rather than water, these units can save up to 90% of water, each time they are used, and they are totally chemical-free. Offering the same quality interior as all our luxury toilet units, with hot and cold running water, ceramic sanitary ware and well-lit mirrors, our range of vacuum toilets includes vacuum toilets for men, vacuum toilets for women, and vacuum urinals. Energy-saving Fresh flush toilet units Our most recent addition, and the most eco-friendly unit currently in our fleet of luxury toilets, the Fresh flush toilet units are completely generator- and electricity-free. Running entirely on solar panels which generate enough power, even in the winter, and 100% chemical-free, the trailers feature an integral hot water system so no mains supply is required. Handwashing water is also recycled for the flush system, making them super water-efficient. Sustainable paper consumables Along with branded, indulgent toiletries that are supplied as standard in our luxury toilets, all paper consumables (hand towels and toilet paper) are manufactured from 100% recycled materials. We purchase consumables in bulk, allowing us to keep fuel costs low. Ethical and environmentally-friendly toilet hire from Fortis Hire As upper tier licence holders with the Environment Agency and accredited waste carriers, we are qualified to remove all waste for ethical disposal at designated sites. We aim wherever possible to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible – vacuum toilets help us to do this as more units can be transported in one load, allowing us to save on fuel usage and emissions.
