Portable Eco Toilet for Hiking and Camping in Norway

Allemannsretten — Norway's Ancient Right to Roam
Norway's Allemannsretten — the right of public access — is enshrined in the Outdoor Recreation Act of 1957 and gives everyone the right to move freely and camp in Norway's uncultivated land. In a country where over a third of the land is mountain and wilderness, this is one of the world's great outdoor freedoms.
But Allemannsretten comes with clear responsibilities. The law requires that you leave no trace, cause no damage, and respect the natural environment. Human waste left in the wild is a direct violation of these principles — and in Norway's pristine fjord and mountain landscapes, the impact is significant.
Why a Portable Eco Toilet Is Essential in Norway
Norway's wilderness is vast, but its ecosystems are fragile. Cold temperatures slow decomposition dramatically, meaning waste buried in the mountains can persist for years. Near popular trails and fjord viewpoints, the cumulative impact of thousands of visitors is increasingly visible.
The PlopEco® Go Toilet is built for Norwegian conditions:
- Cold-weather performance — the frame and bags work in freezing temperatures
- Lightweight and packable — essential for multi-day fjord and mountain trips
- TÜV-certified compostable bags — certified biodegradable to European EN 13432 standards
- Eco Toilet Powder — solidifies waste and eliminates odour, no chemicals involved
Where It's Most Useful Across Norway
- 🌊 The Fjords — Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, and Hardangerfjord attract millions of visitors; kayaking and hiking routes have limited facilities
- 🏔️ Jotunheimen National Park — home to Norway's highest peaks, Galhøpiggen and Glittertind, with remote hut-to-hut and wild camping routes
- 🚶 Trolltunga and Preikestolen — Norway's most iconic viewpoints, with long approach hikes and no facilities en route
- 🌲 Hardangervidda — Europe's largest mountain plateau, a vast wilderness popular for multi-day ski and hiking tours
- ⛵ The Lofoten Islands — dramatic Arctic scenery with wild camping on beaches and mountain ridges
- 🥾 Rondane and Dovrefjell — Norway's oldest national parks, with musk ox, reindeer, and remote wilderness camping
