We invite you to read his article on our smart public toilets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summary: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urben Blu&#8217;s outdoor public washrooms offers automatic cleaning of the bowl after each use and washes the floor at programmed intervals. It is connected to water, sanitation, and wireless networks upon installation in an urban park. Designed like a small pavilion, it is entirely factory-made and vandal resistant. Founded in 2010 by Marcel Par\u00e9, the company developed this Quebec innovation to meet the needs of the North American market. Controlled remotely, it offers advanced features such as automatic cleaning, supply management, and lighting. With about a hundred toilets already delivered in Quebec, Ontario, and the United States, Urben Blu envisions a promising future through its partnerships and innovation projects, including the integration of solar battery systems for increased energy autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-degrade-bleu-fonce\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lapresse.ca\/affaires\/2023-10-09\/pme-innovation\/des-toilettes-publiques-qui-s-autonettoient-a-l-envi.php\">read the original article in french<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SME-Innovation-_-Public-toilets-that-self-clean-whenever-you-want-_-The-Press-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of SME-Innovation-_-Public-toilets-that-self-clean-whenever-you-want-_-The-Press-1.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9a69c344-02ec-45ae-a029-699877aca5b2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SME-Innovation-_-Public-toilets-that-self-clean-whenever-you-want-_-The-Press-1.pdf\">SME-Innovation-_-Public-toilets-that-self-clean-whenever-you-want-_-The-Press-1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SME-Innovation-_-Public-toilets-that-self-clean-whenever-you-want-_-The-Press-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9a69c344-02ec-45ae-a029-699877aca5b2\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalist Marc Tison from La Presse- Business visited our Boisbriand plant &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1065,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medias"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1587"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3720,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587\/revisions\/3720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
