The Toilets

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) showcased two innovative toilets at Koparkhairane, Sector 14, displaying an inventive notion of transforming waste into useful and visually pleasing facilities, as part of a shift towards sustainable sanitation practices.

These cutting-edge restrooms, which were commissioned by Municipal Commissioner Rajesh Narvekar, demonstrate the city’s dedication to environmental awareness, cleanliness, and creative waste management techniques. Prominent officials, such as Additional Commissioner Dr. Sujata Dhole, Deputy Commissioner of the Solid Waste Management Department Babasaheb Rajle, and other dignitaries, attended the inauguration event, demonstrating the support and teamwork behind this creative initiative.

The toilet facilities in Koparkhairane are remarkable for their environmentally friendly design. They were constructed using 5.30 metric tons of recycled plastic waste and 426 square meters of recycled plastic sheeting. Remarkably, more than 11,700 plastic bottles were cleverly recycled to beautify the restroom, and 35,200 bottle caps were creatively used around the establishment.

An 85-key computer board was used as decoration in this inventive design, and 284 kg of scrap metal were reused to create an attractive vehicle model that was placed in front of the restroom. Furthermore, the neighborhood features a charming fountain that is maintained by treated sewage water, which is an example of creative waste management and embodies the 3Rs of reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Encompassing 75 square meters, the restroom amenities provide every requirement of both genders, with 4 male toilets and 1 bathroom, and 3 female toilets, 1 bathroom, and a kid area. The women’s area has all the necessities, including a hand dryer, incinerator, sanitary pad vending machine, and infant care center. In addition, a special restroom has been provided for individuals with disabilities.
