Students of the Alberta College of Art and Design, Molchanko and Jensen were given the challenge of creating a product that produces social or economic value. The result was this environmentally friendly waterproof toilet paper capsule. Using recycled paper, twine, silicone, reflective tape, a 2L soda bottle and a reusable bag, Jensen and Molchanko's aptly titled 'When Nature Calls' device keeps your precious toilet paper dry and makes your rough surroundings a little bit more like home using its nature-friendly design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Camping Essentials:** Opportunity to create and market innovative, sustainable camping products such as waterproof toilet paper capsules. - **Outdoor Comfort Solutions:** Disruptive innovations that enhance comfort and convenience while camping, like the DIY waterproof toilet paper capsule. - **Eco-conscious Design:** A growing trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable products, including camping accessories like the waterproof toilet paper capsule. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunities for companies in the outdoor recreation industry to develop and market eco-friendly camping essentials, like waterproof toilet paper capsules. - **Sustainable Product Manufacturing:** Innovative manufacturing companies can specialize in creating eco-conscious camping items, such as waterproof toilet paper capsules with reusable materials. - **Eco-tourism:** Eco-conscious tourism businesses can offer sustainable camping solutions to enhance outdoor experiences, such as providing guests with waterproof toilet paper capsules. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Water-Free Telescoping Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1.md) - [Compact Portable Toilet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-toilets.md) - [Ultra-Compact Camper Toilet Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pact-lite.md) - [Inflatable Portable Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpot.md) - [Compact Portable Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clesana-x1-camping-toilet.md) - [Toilet Tissue Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wype-gel.md) - [All-in-One Camper Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campit-camping-kit.md) - [Novice Camping Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-2.md) - [Toilet Paper Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-wipe-alternative.md)
