Can construction site urinals and urinal basins for portable toilets be recycled after use?
Yes, portable toilet urinals are fully recyclable. Our Pi-Pi urinals are 100% polyethylene without mixed materials, making them ideal for mechanical recycling.
Recycling classification: LLDPE portable toilet urinals are RIC #4 (resin identification code). Most recycling programs accept LLDPE.
Recycling process for portable toilet urinals:
- Collection and cleaning of used urinals
- Shredding into small flakes
- Melting and pelletizing
- Manufacturing new products
Recycling efficiency: Up to 95% of our Pi-Pi urinals can be reclaimed. Rotomolded portable toilet urinals are single-component (no glue, coatings, or inserts), simplifying recycling.
End-of-life options for portable toilet urinals:
- Mechanical recycling (preferred): Recycled material can be used for construction products, plastic lumber, drainage pipes
- Energy recovery: Our portable toilet urinals have high calorific value — can be used at waste-to-energy plants
Return program: For B2B clients with large rental fleets (100+ portable toilet urinals), we offer return programs. Contact us to arrange the collection of used Pi-Pi urinals at the end of their life.
