When it comes to the chemical toilet industry, functionality and operational mechanisms are often taken for granted.
However, behind these elements lies another side of the coin that is often underestimated: collaboration with design.
Design is not just about aesthetics—it plays a key role in determining practicality, innovation, and sustainability.
At Tblustar, a leading company in the chemical toilet sector, we pay special attention to this aspect. Every product is the result of a careful and meticulous process in which design and functionality merge to offer increasingly advanced and high-performance solutions.
From concept to creation
Every new Tblustar product starts from a well-defined idea, which must meet three essential criteria:
- Differentiation from the competition
- A competitive final price
- Optimized transport via trucks and containers to reduce costs and logistical impact, through packaging designed for this purpose
Once the right direction is identified, our designer, architect Ravaioli, transforms the idea into initial sketches.
From there, we move on to 3D design—a crucial phase that allows us to refine every detail and assess feasibility before moving into actual production. Finally, once the design is approved, molds are created to start the production processes that will bring the final product to life.
Synergy with the designer: a team effort
The design process is never solitary—designers and engineers work in synergy through brainstorming sessions and continuous collaboration. Architect Ravaioli and our CEO, Alessio Dainelli, share ideas and visions, evaluating materials and technical solutions, always with the goal of creating a practical, sturdy, and versatile product.
Beyond aesthetics, great attention is given to functionality and material durability—key elements in the chemical toilet sector. This close collaboration ensures that every Tblustar product is cutting-edge and perfectly meets market needs.
Why is innovative design important?
In our industry, innovation means standing out. And innovation is the driving force behind the development of Tblustar products. We constantly integrate innovative solutions into the design of our products to offer improved functionality and a superior user experience.
We also offer various customization options, allowing clients to choose from a wide range of wall colors or add interior accessories for T-STAR chemical toilets, as well as color and material options for our luxury modules. Although these customizations do not affect the core design and production process, they provide added value for clients seeking tailored solutions.
Materials used: quality and strength
Material choice is crucial to ensure durability, weather resistance, and easy maintenance. For this reason, Tblustar uses specific materials depending on the product type:
- Stainless steel for SST-304 tanks (available in Compact, Standard, Maxi, and TrioTank types)
- HDPE for plastic chemical toilets
- Fiberglass-coated sandwich panels for luxury modules
These materials are selected to offer maximum reliability and high performance over time.
Sustainability and environmental impact of materials
Sustainability is a topic we deeply care about and has become increasingly central in the design of our products. All materials used by Tblustar are fully recyclable, with a special focus on the T-STAR model, which is designed to reduce environmental impact from the very start.
Every stage of the production process considers energy efficiency and waste reduction, ensuring environmentally responsible solutions.
The challenges of design
Designing a chemical toilet like the T-STAR was no easy feat. The main challenges faced by our team included:
- Creating a quick and safe assembly/disassembly system.
Optimizing storage and transport by allowing the product to be repackaged. - Balancing size, practicality, and sturdiness: the toilet needed to be spacious enough for comfortable use without being too bulky for transport.
- Implementing efficient and secure locking systems: snap-fit handles were designed to safely and stably lock the walls in place, maintaining durability and deterring vandalism.
- Maintaining a competitive price despite the high quality.
Thanks to continuous research and development, we tackled complex problems with innovative solutions and successfully overcame these challenges, creating products that combine functionality, design, and innovation.
Listening to the customer: an ongoing process
Continuous product improvement also comes from actively listening to our customers. Thanks to our close relationship with our sales agents, we gather valuable feedback that helps us refine design and functionality. When developing new solutions, we always consider the needs and requests of those who use our products daily.
The evolution and future of Tblustar design
All of this shows how Tblustar’s product design has naturally evolved over time, driven by our constant pursuit of innovation. Collaboration with architect Ravaioli has enabled us to develop increasingly advanced solutions, placing our company at the forefront of the industry.
Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in design and technology to offer even more high-performing, sustainable products aligned with market needs.
