Good for you. Good for all of us.
How you benefit from Clesana.
With Clesana, we have left the beaten path to mobile sanitary solutions … not by wandering off, but by wondering how to bring innovative spirit and eco-friendliness together to achieve a broad range of greater goals. And we believe: many of these goals are in our mutual interest …
Moving forward. Leaving nothing behind.
At Clesana we are dedicated to our very own ideal of responsible technology. Because we see it as our responsibility to design and craft perfect hygiene solutions that last and perform with the greatest reliability, and all that in the best ecological conscience. Introducing the C1, we have achieved this ideal: a unique symbiosis of progressivity and sustainability.
Sustainability simply built in.
We know what you might be thinking: acting with ecological awareness only comes with sacrifices. At Clesana, we prove that true sustainability and best performance are not mutually exclusive. The outstanding eco-compatibility of our C1 toilet is shown best when comparing the overall eco-balance, from production to use and waste disposal. For this, we rely on the proven balancing method ReCiPe*, which is aimed at evaluating the impact of products on people and the environment holistically. Corresponding studies have shown that Clesana surpasses conventional chemical toilets in all four major categories of environmental impact – including climate change as well as acidification of soils, water contamination and not least possible health risks to humans. As an example: the barriere foil technology inside Clesana’s C1 leads to a CO2-footprint 10% smaller than that of conventional chemical toilets. And we are constantly working on new sanitary solutions that are even more sustainable.
The Clesana C1 outperforms conventional chemical in all major impact categories:
- 1. up to 10% smaller CO2-footprint [kg CO2e] with barrier foil liner
- 2. up to 124% less terrestrial acidification[kg SO2e]**
- 3. up to 63% lower ecotoxidity in fresh water [kg 1,4-DCBe]**
- 4. up to 115% lower human toxidity [kg 1,4-DCBe]**
- 5. ca. 170l of water saved as a valuable resource
In comparsion: 5 uses*** with barrier foil equal the CO2-footprint of just the production of 1 glas of wine (0,2l) or 2 bottles of beer (0,33l) or a driving distance of 1,4 km in a camper van (Fiat Ducato 130 Multijet, Diesel, Euro 6**).
* Developed in cooperation of the Dutch Institute for Public Health and the Universites of Nijmwegen and Leiden as well as analysts of the Agency for Sustainability Pré. **by residue-free burning of materials that cannot be processed by waste water plants. *** equals the average number of uses per person and day

For many good reasons.
Handling and use
- Hygiene in accordance with medical standards
- Simple and secure disposal of sanitary bags as household waste
- Completely odour-free
- Multi-purpose (diapers, leftovers, hygiene products etc.)
- Easy handling and cleaning
- Eco-friendly by making chemical additives and water supply obsolete
- More freedom and independence
- Instantly ready to use, even after long idle periods
- No winter shut down needed
- Supports much more spontaneity on short and long trips
- Low maintenance
For manufacturers
-
New possibilities for layout and spatial planning in vehicle design & development
-
Meeting the growing demand for more flexibility and spontaneity on camping trips (independent from camping sites with disposal stations)
-
High potential for new customer acquisition, especially among first timers and young campers
-
Getting ahead of the competition by offering innovative sanitary technologies
-
Clesana C1 can be installed in any vehicle designed with the Thetford C260 series, without major changes to existing part lists
-
Reduced expenses for maintenance and cleaning of rentals
-
Easy retrofitting via local dealerships
-
Great business potential from growing demand for retrofitting registered vehicles equipped with conventional chemical toilets (model series other than C260 can be retrofittet by specialist retailers)
-
Improving camping infrastructures, as sites no longer require central sanitary facilities (paving the way for care-free farm holidays, camping in vineyards, etc.)
