2019 Mobile Toilet
The main developments in the mobile toilet sector in 2019 focused on technological applications and market expansion, specifically manifested in the implementation of new types of movable public toilets and the establishment of environmental protection equipment companies.
I. The First Movable Landscape Public Toilet in Hangzhou Put into Use
On June 29, 2019, the movable landscape public toilet at the intersection of Qianchao Road and Sanxin Road on the Qiantang River embankment in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was officially opened. This toilet was built by the Jianggan District Urban Management Bureau under the guidance of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau, introducing technology from Xiamen and collaborating with Sijiqing Street. It is the first movable landscape public toilet in Hangzhou. Its design breaks away from the fixed model of traditional public toilets, adopting a modular structure with detachable and reconfigurable features, allowing for flexible adjustment of its location or scale according to actual needs. For example, in large-scale events or areas with high foot traffic, additional modules can be added for rapid expansion; after the event, the modules can be disassembled and moved to other locations for reuse, significantly improving resource utilization efficiency.
In addition, this toilet integrates environmental protection and landscape concepts in its functionality. Its exterior design harmonizes with the surrounding environment, while the interior is equipped with intelligent water-saving systems, deodorization devices, and barrier-free facilities, balancing practicality and aesthetics. Its construction model provides new ideas for the flexible deployment of urban public facilities, especially suitable for scenarios with limited land resources or temporary needs, such as tourist attractions and construction sites.
II. Environmental Protection Equipment Companies Enter the Mobile Toilet Market
On March 25, 2019, Hebei Jijie Environmental Protection Equipment Leasing Co., Ltd. was established, with its main business covering the sales and leasing of mobile toilets, as well as related products such as environmental protection toilets and portable toilets. The establishment of this company reflects the growing demand in the mobile toilet market, particularly the commercialization trend of environmentally friendly and movable products.
From a market positioning perspective, the company meets the needs of different scenarios by offering both sales and leasing services: short-term events (such as exhibitions and music festivals) can opt for the leasing model to reduce costs; long-term fixed locations (such as parks and construction sites) can purchase customized products. Its products may adopt lightweight materials, biodegradation technology, or solar power supply systems to minimize environmental impact. For example, biodegradation toilets use microorganisms to decompose waste, eliminating the need for connection to sewer systems and making them suitable for areas without infrastructure; solar power supply systems reduce operational energy consumption, aligning with green development principles.
This development indicates that the mobile toilet sector is upgrading from single functional products to environmentally friendly and intelligent directions, with companies driving the industry towards greater efficiency and sustainability through technological innovation and business model optimization.
