BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES & MARKETS
Portable Sanitation Business Opportunities
Increasingly the world is striving for improved public health, which leads to a higher standard of living, increased productivity and safer environmental conditions. Portable sanitation products play a vital role in those efforts. The portable toilet industry helps to manage the proper collection and disposal of human waste, in temporary or permanent locations where sewer-connected facilities are not available, and hand sanitation stations & products facilitate cleanliness and improved hygiene. Accordingly, the portable sanitation industry has become important to improving worldwide public health, increasing human dignity and preserving the world's environment.
The portable sanitation industry has grown worldwide because of the important economic benefits it provides to the construction and outdoor event industries. Portable toilets save money on construction and other work sites because they save time and reduce labor costs. Hand sanitation stations (both standalone and in-unit) promote better hygiene and improved health conditions. The toilets & hand sanitation stations are easily relocated and can follow the workers as the project progresses. For outdoor events, portable toilets & hand sanitation stations generate money for the event organizer because spectators will stay longer and thus spend more money.
This ever-increasing demand for portable sanitation products provides an excellent business opportunity for new or established companies who wish to diversify into this business segment. By providing a service that has widespread demand in the marketplace and benefits society, owners of portable sanitation companies are finding the toilet/handwash rental and service business to be a profitable venture with unlimited growth potential.
In many countries, this industry is just beginning. Those who enter now can develop it and become a dominant figure in the local market.
