# What Are OGO™ Toilets Made Of

## Both the OGO™ Origin and Nomad by OGO™ are built for durability, ease of maintenance, and long-term performance in off-grid environments. Every component—inside and out—is carefully selected for strength, sanitation, and resistance to the elements.

- **Includes:** Solids bin, internal gray components
- **Purpose:** HDPE is highly durable, non-porous, easy to clean, and resistant to waste-related acids and compounds.
