History of Portable Toilets |
|
|
|
The portable toilet industry began in the 1940's in the ship building yards of USA
. A wood cabana was developed with a small holding tank which became the first portable
toilet. This unique concept soon spread to the construction industry and to organizers
of large crowd events. |

In the early 1970's, portable toilets made of fiberglass were introduced. However,
problems persisted. These toilets required more maintenance due to the brittle nature
of the material . In addition, fiberglass absorbed odors in the cabana and holding
tank , thus proving, to be a poor choice of material. In the mid-1970's, polyethylene
portable toilets were introduced. Polyethylene made toilets lightweight and more
durable. Polyethylene is easier to clean, since it is a non-porous and non-absorbing
material. It is the most popular material for portable toilets today. In the late
1990's this concept was introduced in INDIA by Shramik Sanitation System's now a
division of Saraplast Pvt Ltd. A pioneer and market leader in INDIA today.
The success of the clean and portable toilet is almost unparalleled. The advantage
of being self-contained, having no moving parts, requiring no power source and the
use of attractive non-porous plastic with smooth surfaces, has made the portable
toilet superior to many permanent facilities.
As part of the value of renting toilets, the portable sanitation service provided
by our 3S operator who pumps, cleans the toilets with a frequency based on the number
of toilet users. At service time, the operator takes the pump truck to the toilet
site and then sanitizes the inside of the toilet's holding tank and cabana and "recharges"
the holding tank with sanitary concentrate and fresh deodorizer. The operator refills
supplies (toilet paper, soap and fresh water) and transports the waste as per current
waste regulation norms to proper sanitary disposal site or treatment plant.
