Power to the Peepoople!


When I present you the PeePoobag, I don’t think you really need an explanation. It is what it is. The peepoobag is a genious invention as it is a sad confrontation. But the fact that nobody wants to know in what condition other people have to live (or to shit) on the other side of the world is hereby invalidated. Swedish architect and professor Anders Wilhelmson proved that. And he proved even more: while regular toilets  are in fact a very expensive way of flushing one’s feces down the drain, the Peepoobag has more hidden advantages. Next to being a simple solution for the lack of access to basic sanitation in developing countries, the bag itself has a harmless chemical fertilizing layer that changes the human waste witin a period of two to four weeks into a fertilizer itself. Besides that, it is also odor-free for at least 24 hours after use. Concerning the MTB-community the Peepoobag could also provide a solution for possible future accidents, as there have been in the Lost Forest a couple of months ago. The producers call themselves “Peepoople”, because “we are all the same”, says Carmilla Wirseen, product manager of Peepoople, “whether we are rich or poor, we all do it”.
