RESTOP to Discuss Successful Innovations to
Manage Human Waste at Sustainable Summits
Conference
(1888 PressRelease) Company joins panel on ways
to minimize impacts of human activities in the
high mountains. OCEANSIDE, Calif. Even though
most humans in the high mountains are merely
transient, their impact can be lasting,
especially when it comes to human waste. To help
preserve enjoyment of the worlds largest peaks
for future generations, RESTOP will take part in
a panel about solutions for managing human waste
at the fourth Sustainable Summits Conference June
12-14, 2018. The conference will be held in
Chamonix, France, with the backdrop of Mont
Blanc. The three-day event will feature
discussions by land managers, researchers,
representatives from NGOs and nonprofits, outdoor
companies, guides and mountaineers from around
the world on the future of the high mountains.
The conference will feature three session
tracks 1. What roles do the high mountains play
in todays societies? 2. Climate Change The High
Mountains on the Front Line 3. Human Activities
in the High Mountains Impacts and Solutions On
June 14, RESTOP Sales Manager Lou Ortego will
join other panelists in a session during the
third track titled Successful Human Waste
Pack-Out Systems in High Mountain Regions. The
panel will discuss how to best manage human waste
in remote places through Leave No Trace
principles and other clean climbing ideals, and
how to encourage responsible behavior to minimize
the impact of humans.

RESTOP offers a full line of environmentally-frie
ndly, disposable travel toilets that are perfect
for hikers and campers, and are one solution to
managing waste to preserve the tallest peaks
throughout the globe, said Ortego. I look
forward to having a productive dialogue with
other experts on human waste management and
collaborating on ways to improve the success of
pack-out systems in the high mountain
regions. During the event, RESTOP will display
a range of its products in the Innovation Space,
including RS1 Liquid Waste Bags These bags
contain super absorbent polymers and enzymes that
can absorb a full 20 ounces of urine. Ample
toilet paper and antimicrobial wipes are
included. RS2 Solid Liquid Waste Bags The
patented bag within a bag design safely
contains and neutralizes human waste. Like the
RS1 bags, toilet paper and antimicrobial wipes
are included. RS2W Wilderness Waste Containment
Pouch Five waste bags packaged in a durable mesh
tote to provide an easy way to carry out used
bags. The Go-Pack System When no restrooms
are available, this handy backpack carries a
toilet seat that can also be converted into a
shaded seat for resting weary legs during long
hikes. It includes three waste bags. RS000
Commode This solid base holds a RESTOP full-size
toilet seat, which can withstand 300 pounds of
pressure. RS500 Privacy Shelter Available in
the original opaque material or camouflage
pattern, this sturdy, collapsible shelter affords
complete privacy and folds into a convenient
hands-free carrying case. Also available with an
optional NEMO Helio shower. RESTOPs solutions
not only effectively contain waste for easy and
convenient transport out of the wilderness, they
also can be safely disposed of in regular trash
receptacles as they are landfill-approved in all
