Kururmarukun: Folding Cardboard Toilet
Shit Box competition from Japan?...
the Kururmarukun, folding cardboard toilet
According to Fareastgizmos.com - "Kaneko Sangyo Co. Japan has developed a portable toilet ''Kurumarukun'' for use inside a car that totally conceals the user with a curtain. The new ''Kurumarukun'' toilet is the first ever model of its kind small enough to fit inside a car, the Aichi Prefecture-based manufacturer of plastic car accessories said. Users are required to assemble a cardboard toilet bowl and to fit a water-absorbent sheet inside. The toilet, to be set up on the back seat of a car, comes with a curtain large enough to totally conceal users and a plastic bag
to tightly seal human waste for later disposal. Prior to assembly, portable toilet ''Kurumarukun'' measures 60 centimeters long, 38 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick and can be carried inside a suitcase, the company said.
Kaneko Sangyo is touting it as a commode that will come in handy when you are caught in a traffic jam. The portable toilet ''Kurumarukun'' from Kaneko Sangyo will be available in Japan from Nov. 15 for approximately 4,725 yen ($41)."

World Toilet Day
"19 November is World Toilet Day – a day to celebrate the humble, yet vitally important, toilet and to raise awareness of the global sanitation crisis.
Imagine life without a toilet. No toilets in your home or at work, no public toilets, no toilets anywhere. Imagine the mess. Imagine the disease.
It's hard to imagine life without something we take for granted, but this is the daily reality for 2.6 billion people – 40% of the world's population."

Did you know:
- 2.6 billion people do not have somewhere safe, private or hygienic to go to the toilet.
- One gram of faeces can contain 10 million viruses, one million bacteria, 1000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs.
- The simple act of washing hands with soap and water after going to the toilet can reduce diarrhoeal diseases by over 40%.
- Safe disposal of children's faeces leads to a reduction of nearly 40% in childhood diarrhoea.

Elegantly Wasted
Shit Box Portable Cardboard Toilet
"Ah, the great outdoors. When sleeping under stars, waking to birdsong and hunting for food, you’re at one with nature.
Until nature calls.
Say goodbye to traumatic outdoor toilet experiences with The Brown Corporation’s Shit Box. The lightweight portable cardboard dunny provides an alternative way to do your business with no more queuing for long-drop festival potties or crouching over stinging nettles.
Unfold the pop-up loo, insert a degradable poo bag and you’re ready to go (quite literally). Once you’ve dropped the kids off at the pool, simply remove and dispose of the bag, put the lid down and use the sturdy box as a stool (no pun intended).
Now that’s not such a shitty idea after all."
