New Products: Alternate Waste Disposal Methods
Alternate Waste Disposal Methods Restop 1 by American Innotek is a safe and easy way to dispose of liquid human waste, the company says. It consists of a small, lightweight, portable pouch (fits in backpack, purse, glove compartment) with a contoured top, making it easy to use by both males and females. It's spill- and leak-proof, odor-free and EPA-approved for trash disposal. Restop 1 urine pouches contain absorbent polymers that instantly turn warm body fluids into an odorless gel, the company says. The company also offers Restop 2, a disposable toilet for human waste, which the company says is easy to use, odor-free, sanitary and EPA-approved for trash disposal. Finally, the company offers the Restop commode, a 5-gallon bucket with a seat similar to a traditional commode that allows for longer storage of waste before disposal.
