Discovering the Future of Toilets with Clésana
In a world increasingly focused on hygiene and environmental sustainability, the advent of
Clésana, a revolutionary waterless toilet, has sparked interest among outdoor enthusiasts and people anticipating emergencies alike. Produced by a Swiss company, Clésana has established itself as a leader in innovative sanitary solutions. But why is it becoming particularly popular?
The Partnership with Toy Factory
Toy Factory, based in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, stands at the forefront of the camping industry in Japan. As the country’s leading manufacturer of camper vans built on the Hiace chassis, Toy Factory is pioneering new ways to enhance the camping experience, including the introduction of the Clésana toilet as the exclusive distributor in Japan. This partnership is set to change how campers and outdoor lovers address their sanitary needs.
How Clésana Works
Clésana toilets operate without the need for water or chemicals, which has garnered a lot of attention in the industry. They ensure hygienic waste management by utilizing a specialized film that effectively seals in odors. This innovative film has been developed by Clésana and received international acclaim for its superior performance. In fact, studies conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have demonstrated that Clésana's high-barrier film exhibits almost
900 times better odor resistance compared to that found in typical portable toilets.
An Advanced Filtration System
The film, which is patented and crafted through a unique seven-layer processing method, plays a crucial role in Clésana's functionality. During the heat-pressing process, it can reach a thickness of up to
22 layers, ensuring maximum odor and leak prevention. Additionally, such a strong heat-pressing technology makes the sealing process reliable and robust, further enhancing the user experience.
Designed for Hygiene and Convenience
The Clésana toilet design is user-friendly, requiring just a single button push to seal waste, ensuring an effortless and sanitary disposal process. The grey color of the film minimizes visibility, effectively hiding the contents from view. Not only does this serve practical purposes—allowing users to dispose of leftovers, diapers, and sanitary products—but it also maintains discretion, an essential feature for any toilet solution.
A single roll of film can support up to
50 uses, making it convenient for extended outings. Users have reported that they can enjoy the comfort of a fully functional toilet without concerns about unpleasant odors or messy waste disposal, a significant improvement over traditional methods.
The C1 Model and Its Applications
Clésana’s C1 model, optimized for camper van installation, operates on a 12V power supply, making it compatible with various vehicles. This versatility means that any camper van owner seeking to solve their “toilet issues” can trust Clésana as an effective solution.
Many users, traditionalists with prior concerns about using mobile toilets, have reported a refreshed approach to bathroom amenities: 82% stated they now use their Clésana toilet regularly, having overcome previous barriers related to odor and waste disposal.
Community Feedback
Clésana users have been vocal about their satisfaction:
- - One camper noted, “I love how the design is reminiscent of my home bathroom. I can now enjoy longer trips without worrying about bathroom breaks, especially at night.”
- - Another user mentioned, “The convenience of Clésana has made it easy to go whenever I need to without the hassle of traditional methods. Thank you!”
The variety of applications for Clésana is impressive: from camper vans and disaster preparedness kits to compact designs for off-grid living, Clésana is a versatile solution for modern hygiene needs.
Expanding Horizons: Future Developments
In 2024, new models like
X1 will emerge, allowing for even more flexibility. Ideal for use in confined spaces or during emergencies, this model can operate on mobile electric tools and can be packed compactly for easy transport. Plans are already underway to integrate these toilets into emergency vehicles to assist during disasters, as seen during the recent Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Clésana's Commitment to Sustainability
The core ethos of Clésana aligns with environmental consciousness. By eliminating the need for water and chemicals, it offers a sustainable alternative for waste disposal. This aligns with growing trends in eco-friendly products, especially in Europe where Clésana has gained significant traction.
Given its practicality, hygienic design, and environmental benefits, Clésana is more than just a toilet — it’s a solution that harmonizes modern needs with environmentally responsible practices. As Toy Factory leads the charge in Japan, the future looks bright for this innovative product.
