Eco Potty? Surely that is impossible...

...oh no it isn't!

Those clever people at becothings have found a way to make a substance that acts like plastic, but is entirely natural and biodegradable!

These eco-friendly potties are made from waste plant material, so while they last for years in your home they will start biodegrading as soon as you pop them in your garden.

The ergonomically designed BecoPotty is comfortable and easy to use. The high back offers extra support, while the large splash guard helps keep potty training hygienic. This potty is not only kind on your baby, but also the environment.

Around 80% of the material is made up of fibres from bamboo and rice husks. Rice husks are a by-product of rice production, so it is a great material to use as it is normally thrown away! Although you might picture bamboo as tall thin trees, it is actually a breed of grass and so grows incredibly fast. This means all the bamboo used can be sustainably grown. Becothings take these natural plant fibres and grind them into a fine powder. This powder is then mixed with a resin created from amino acids. It is this resin that bonds all the fibres together. The mixture is pressed in a hot mould and thus a BecoPotty is born.

When you place a plant fibre product in warm, damp conditions, like a compost heap or buried in the ground, the resin will start to break down. This in-turn allows the fibres to break down, eventually the product will fully biodegrade away. This process will usually take around 2 to 3 years depending on the environmental conditions. It’s this property that makes this material ideal for products like the BecoPotty that are typically only used for a short time but are very difficult to recycle.
