Toto Promoting Green Initiatives with a Toilet on Wheels

By Rain Noe - October 11, 2011

If there's one thing this Yank loves about globalism, it's seeing commercials and marketing concepts that would never get greenlit in the 'States being happily advanced by other countries. A good case in point is the Toilet Bike Neo, which will be traveling around Japan to promote manufacturer Toto's green initiatives.

Commissioned by Toto, the Neo is essentially a Toto toilet grafted onto a biogas-burning trike. Alas, the toilet is more symbolic than functional, as the rider's waste is not actually converted to biogas; instead the fuel is harvested from livestock and household waste, while the toilet simply functions as a seat and eye-catcher. That must bug the driver every time they have to pull over to use the facilities.
