Dear Ms. Usinowicz,
I am the owner of an Arizona based adventure tour company that specializes in rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking/backpacking & canyoneering vacations. Many of our multi-day adventures include camping in primitive/remote locations, far away from any restroom amenities. We have used the RESTOP II in the past with great success.
Recently I was lucky enough to be included on a private permit to raft down the Colorado River as the chef & trip leader. Luckily the National Park Service (Grand Canyon) had recently approved the RESTOP II for use on their river trips. On a previous trip we had used a different system and were not all that impressed.
This time was far better! We were able to provide a comfortable, sanitary and private restroom facility for the group. Even the ladies on the trip commented on how positive the experience was. That’s saying something!
Anyway, we will continue to use the RESTOP II in all of our primitive camping experiences, even our private ones – it’s just a far more hygienic option!
Thank you RESTOP!
Sincerely,
Bruce Leadbetter
Co-Owner/GM

IT’S IN THE BAG!
RESTOP PRODUCTS APPROVED FOR USE IN GRAND CANYON
NATIONAL PARK

Escondido, CA (May 5, 2009) – Grand Canyon National Park officials recently
announced that the RESTOP® waste kits are approved for river use in the Grand Canyon National Park.

RESTOP’s portable dry toilet system provides outdoor enthusiasts with an environmentally-sensitive way to manage human waste in the outdoors where lavatory facilities are not available.

The parent company, American Innotek, has been providing its patented product lines, Restop and Brief Relief to various industries including Utility, Telecom, Military, Government agencies and Outdoor markets for more than 20 years.

Restop sales manager, Lara Usinowicz has been instrumental in presenting the Restop’s usefulness in the Grand Canyon environment

RESTOP, along with American Innotek’s other product line, Brief Relief and Disposa-John, utilizes a proprietary blend of super absorbent polymers and natural enzymes to gel, treat and deodorize human waste, rendering it safe to dispose of in any trash receptacle.

Eco-friendly, RESTOP's solid and liquid waste containment systems are designed to be used with the transportable RESTOP Commode, complete with a full-sized soft toilet seat and water tight “gamma lid” or, in the wilderness, RESTOP solid waste containment systems can be used directly on the ground.

The lightweight, (3 lbs.), RESTOP Commode sets up in seconds, requires no water and provides a secure (supports 300 lbs), private, “outhouse” facility when combined with a Restop Privacy shelter.

The Restop commode also comes with a waterproof “gamma lid” that meets National Park requirements for contamination prevention while rafting down the river.

RESTOP solid waste bags, the RS2 and RS2W, patented double bag system is good for multiple uses and is made of puncture resistant, gas impervious, biodegradable material.

After use, the RS2 and RS2W’s zip lock outer disposable bag can be sealed and tossed. All of Restop's packaging and ingredients are approved for landfill disposal in all 50 states.

RESTOP is a proud corporate sponsor of Leave No Trace, an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.

Leave No Trace also has a partnership with the U.S. State Parks Directors to provide education for the more than 820 million visitors to America’s 5,842 state parks.

RESTOP products are required for hikers and climbers at Zion National Park and other notable venues worldwide including numerous Eco Expeditions on Mt. Everest.

With over 10 million bags sold to the U.S. Military and FEMA, and other venues, Restop and Brief Relief waste kits are proven products that easily provide for human waste containment at work or play.
