Design-led sanitary disposal
Pretty Pipes puts bag dispensing and sanitary waste disposal exactly where the behavior happens — inside the stall, and now, inside the home.
Commercial first / Residential next
The Pretty Pipes collection
01 — 02
01 / Commercial
Built for shared spaces.
02 / Residential
Made to belong at home.
01 / The problem
The disposal decision happens alone, inside the stall — and the right tool is almost never within reach. Products get flushed, pipes block, and waterways pay.
An estimated $1.0B–$1.5B in annual U.S. infrastructure damage, driven by a behavior nobody talks about. Pretty Pipes puts the solution where the decision is made.
02 / The product family
Purposeful design for the spaces we share and the places we call our own.
01Commercial / Available for pilots
Wall-mounted stainless and metal finishes, bag dispensing and disposal in one enclosure, with lockable refill access designed around facility servicing.
02Residential / Coming next
Compact countertop or wall-mounted with an integrated bag dispenser, in ten colors designed to sit visibly in the home.
Residential / Finishes
03 / Simple by design
A clear workflow for the user. A repeatable routine for the team.
A right-sized bag, within reach inside the stall.
A discreet adjacent compartment keeps the moment private.
A designated receptacle at the point of use.
Lockable refill access for scheduled facility servicing.
04 / The business thesis
Hardware establishes the location. Recurring refills create an ongoing relationship — fewer plumbing events, simpler servicing, better ESG reporting.
