PRODUCT
A Sustainability Story – From
Company to Product
THE NEW mobile eco-friendly restroom from
CNSE is testament to the company’s own
sustainability credentials. The 100 per cent solar
powered unit uses low voltage mechanisms to
operate and incorporates water saving features.
It is a totally self contained unit but boasts a
fresh water flush utilising integral fresh and
wastewater tanks. Other features include a
waterless urinal, LED lighting with a motion
sensor and a ‘landscape friendly’ exterior
design.
Tailormade for the UK events market, the Eco
Fleurie is the result of growing trends for ecominded
facilities and is in line with CNSE’s own
sustainability ethos.
CNSE as a company organises and recycles
as much waste as possible, follows a policy
of finding local suppliers and sub-contractors
to reduce the footprint of its activity, sources
office equipment made from recycled materials,
switches exterior lighting off automatically after
9pm and has installed electric vehicle charging
points in its car park. It also employs local talent
of all ages and supports associations such as
the LAPP, which offers disabled children and
teenagers an opportunity to take to the sky in
their first ever flight. www.cnse-france.com
