These eco-friendly potties by Becothings are made from natural plant fibres, so while they last for years in your home they will start biodegrading as soon as you pop them in your backyard!

Things like potties often end up in landfill sites, so it's important that we plan ahead. The Becopotty is designed to have as little environmental impact as possible. It's ergonomic shape means your toddler will be happy to remain seated - ready for the main performance - and its neutral colour means it won't stand out like a sore thumb in your bathroom!

good to know

• ergonomically designed, comfortable and easy to use
• high back for extra support
• large splash guard helps keep potty training hygienic
• one piece construction for easy cleaning

It is a good idea to introduce the potty into the bathroom well before you begin potty training. Gently encouraging your baby to sit on the potty before bath time in the evening is a good routine to establish. Then when they show signs of being ready to learn how to use the potty, sitting on the seat will not seem so strange!

Once potty training is complete, drill a few holes in the bottom of your becopotty, add some plants and sink into a flower bed - let nature do the rest!

materials

Around 80% of the material is made up of fibres from bamboo and rice husks. Rice husks are a by-product of rice production, so it is a great material to use as it is normally thrown away! All the bamboo used is sustainably grown. Both these materials are mixed with a resin created from amino acids. It is this resin that bonds all the fibres together. Importantly it also allows the mix to break down. When you place a plant fibre product in warm, damp conditions, like a compost heap or buried in the ground, the resin will start to break down. This in-turn allows the fibres to break down, eventually the product will fully biodegrade away. This process will usually take around 2 to 3 years depending on the environmental conditions. It's this property that makes this material ideal for products like the Becopotty that are typically only used for a short time but are very difficult to recycle.
