When planning for a construction site, outdoor event, or remote area service, one key question arises: Which type of portable toilet should you choose—chemical or flushable?
At Kazema Portable Toilets, we manufacture and supply both types models across the UAE and beyond. Let’s explore the main differences to help you make an informed choice.
We offer a wide range of GRP portable toilets in both chemical and flushable formats:
