Durability, precision, and resource-efficient processes characterize our work at Henry Technologies GmbH – especially when they result in products that truly impress in everyday life. 

We are currently delighted to be collaborating with Setrenlo – the green loo, a premium brand of composting toilets specifically designed as complete sanitation solutions for daily use. Together, we pursue the goal of creating not only functional but, above all, comfortable solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday life. 

SETRENLO composting toilets are used wherever people live off-grid permanently or for extended periods – for example, in vans, expedition vehicles, tiny houses, or other mobile living concepts. In these areas, it is crucial for us that the products don't feel like a compromise, but rather like a natural solution for everyday comfort. 

For the SETRENLO® Toilet Deluxe Edition, we manufacture two key components using rotational molding: the solids container with a volume of approximately 13 liters and the urine tank with a capacity of about 10 liters. 

The rotational molding process results in particularly robust, dimensionally stable, and durable components. This provides a reliable foundation for a composting toilet that meets the demands of being a comfortable and practical sanitation solution for everyday use. 

SETRENLO will be presenting these solutions at the CMT – The Holiday Fair in Stuttgart from January 17 to 25, 2026. We are proud to contribute to products that feel like home, not camping – regardless of where you live or where you travel.

When engineering meets sustainability, ideas that move things are born – quite literally. Our Managing Director, Bastian Michel, and J. Boldt from igus GmbH recently had the opportunity to discuss new approaches to collaboration in the field of plastics processing and rotational molding (RotoMoulding) in Cologne.

igus GmbH, known as an innovation leader for high-performance plastics and motion systems, has garnered worldwide attention in recent years with the RCYL Bike: a bicycle made entirely from recycled plastic that impressively combines sustainability, design, and functionality. The project demonstrates how plastic can become a key material in the circular economy – lightweight, robust, and recyclable.

Rotational Optimization as a Common Starting Point

The meeting focused on how rotational molding processes can be further optimized – a topic that drives both Henry Technologies and igus in their daily work. The aim is to make material usage, energy consumption and production times more efficient without sacrificing quality or precision.

Henry Technologies has previously conducted initial trials in the production of bicycle rims using the rotomoulding process. The collaboration with igus provided an opportunity to compare experiences, evaluate process parameters, and discuss new material approaches. Particularly exciting is the combination of innovative design and functional plastics technology – two areas where both companies can contribute their strengths.

The RCYL Bike – a symbol of sustainable mobility

The RCYL Bike from igus is far more than just a bicycle – it's a statement for sustainable thinking. Every component, from the frame and rims to the fork, is made from recycled plastic, manufactured using modern processes such as rotomoulding. This technology enables the production of durable, dimensionally stable components while minimizing material waste.

With the igus Bike World Tour, the company demonstrates worldwide how recycling, high-tech, and design can be harmonized. For Henry Technologies, this is an inspiring example of how environmental responsibility and industrial innovation can be combined.

Looking ahead – ideas that are getting rolling

The exchange between Henry Technologies and igus was characterized by openness, curiosity, and technical enthusiasm. Discussions about rotation optimization, material development, and future projects were very promising – and the next steps for collaboration are already being planned.

“The RCYL Bike is an excellent example of what is possible when sustainability and engineering are combined,” summarizes Managing Director Bastian Michel. “We look forward to further exchange and potential joint projects.”

Henry Technologies thus remains true to its guiding principle: shaping innovations, strengthening partnerships, and setting sustainable solutions in motion.
