Hi, I'm Hannah and I go to the University of Bristol. The question I'm answering is what is

00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:10.560
the innovation that's caught my eye recently and why is it so awesome? When thinking about

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:17.280
what innovation to pick, my thought of what to pick was sparked when I went to the toilet

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.080
at a bar and I went to the toilet and there was two toilets in the same cubicle and I thought

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.240
you know what that's great because then you can talk to your friend and the queue's cut down

00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:32.720
and it makes it a lot more fun and faster. Then I was like oh my goodness this is already out there

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:40.240
because two girls who do the same subject as me, innovation, have just graduated and

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:49.360
launched their startup Pequil and it's taking off so well. So Pequil is a female urinal,

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:54.560
it's a flat pack urinal with I think there's six urinals part of it and they're really colourful

00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:00.880
and fun and they take these to festivals and big events and they claim that it cuts down

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:10.160
queuing time for women by six times, six times faster which is huge and these, one great thing

00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:17.040
about them that I think is awesome is the fact that they're 100% made from recycled materials.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:27.440
Also they produce 98% less co2 than your conventional port-a-loo. Also you can only

00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:33.279
be seen in them from the waist downwards and you might be thinking oh do I like this is this all

00:01:33.279 --> 00:01:39.040
right but actually their target audience is festival and event goers and by that time when

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.559
you're at a festival that is the last thing that you're going to be thinking about so that's really

00:01:42.559 --> 00:01:51.040
cool. And the design is kind of like a little hole in the ground but you also have a little

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.519
bit of space to put all your clothes and it's made with this sort of basin to catch any splash.

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:06.800
Yeah flat pack and which is great to transport to festivals and everywhere and also they can be put

00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:12.800
up in three different types of designs which I think is also awesome to suit the location that

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:21.520
they're going to be in. So yeah that's my innovation also these girls have recently even won

00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:29.919
the new enterprise competition so keep an eye out for them they're doing super well.
