  • Embracing the great outdoors is marred by inadequate waste disposal solutions, crucial for preserving nature. Traditional portable toilets, with their odours, frequent maintenance needs, and ergonomic flaws, fail to meet the dynamic demands of the traveller. They lack versatility for different travel styles, often resulting in unsafe carry loads and environmental concerns.

  • The Joolca GottaGo emerges from in-depth research as a modular separating toilet that effectively divides solid waste from liquid. It offers three environmentally friendly options for solid waste management: biodegradable chemicals, bags, or composting, allowing it to be tailored to the user’s travel mode. The separation system prevents solid and liquid waste mixing, making it easier and safer to dispose of than traditional camping toilets whilst also reducing the odour that is a result of that mixing. The result is a reduction in the weight of solid waste, enhancing ergonomic handling. Moreover, its airtight and leak-proof design eliminates odours.

  • The GottaGo has expanded Joolca’s market reach in recreational products on a global scale. It allows campers to embrace the outdoors and extend their expeditions. The GottaGo champions safety with its ergonomic design, featuring manageable carrying loads and well-placed handles. It plays a crucial role in protecting delicate ecosystems by preventing environmental contamination through improper waste disposal. The overwhelming demand for the GottaGo, which exceeded sales expectations, underscores its success. The product is a testament to the power of co-design and extensive research, resonating deeply with consumers and exemplifying the transformative impact of professional design.
