I am a product designer with a background in industrial design. I have experience in the development of medical devices, particularly in the field of exterior design, including endoscope systems, oxygen machines, and vital sign monitoring devices.
Having a passion for outdoor activities, I have chosen to work on a project related to outdoor toileting. Traditionally, we have been taught to dig cat holes for outdoor toileting to promote environmental preservation. However, recent research has shown that cat hole burial may not effectively decompose waste, especially in challenging geographic environments like the Scottish Highlands, where there might be limited microbial and soil conditions to aid decomposition. Therefore, it is more practical to pack and carry waste out.
The product is designed to securely attach the waste bag to the user’s hip, allowing for easy access during outdoor activities. The storage bag is designed to be foldable, enabling users to store multiple waste bags in a compact manner. The sealing mechanism incorporates a triple-fold closure along with a zipper, ensuring a tight seal for odor containment and facilitating multiple uses. By addressing the challenges of outdoor toileting in adverse weather conditions and rugged terrains, this innovative design aims to provide a reliable and user-friendly solution for nature enthusiasts, promoting environmental sustainability through responsible waste management.
