Did you know… that camping is not automatically environmentally friendly?
Mobile toilets are one of these things. Although you don’t often find them in tents, most motorhomes are equipped with a mobile toilet as standard. These solitary places predominantly use environmentally damaging sanitary additives containing biocides to reduce unpleasant odours and the formation of gas in the toilets. Anyone who is looking for more sustainable alternatives can rely on the sanitary additives compatible with wastewater treatment plants that are certified with the Blue Angel.

Did you know that the right shower head is good for both you and the environment?
One solution would simply be to reduce the time you spend in the shower and this is certainly a good idea. However, spending less time in the shower only helps to a limited extent. What other options are there? You could use the right shower head! Shower heads that do not exceed a flow rate of 9 litres per minute irrespective of the water pressure are particularly efficient. Standard shower heads have a flow rate of around 15 litres of water per minute. It is thus possible to save at least 40 percent of this water by using the right shower head.
