Pete talks with PJ Blignault, founder and owner of Eco-Fab about his company's new range of vacuum flushing restrooms.

Based in Dubai, Eco-Fab offers a non-macerating vacuum system that avoids the complications with blockages normally associated with macerating vacuums.

Eco-Fab has just started importing to the United States and offers a cost-effective and reliable vacuum solution for larger scale events and construction projects.

The Eco-Fab demonstration modules will be available for use by portable restroom operators in North America later this year.

Death Without debt is a new podcast from the Get Flushed studio.

In 2023, the average cost of a basic funeral or cremation in New Zealand was between $8,000 and $15,000. That same year, 64% of funerals and cremations in New Zealand were not pre-planned.

Those high costs and lack of planning often leaves bereaved families with a huge bill that compounds the grief of those left behind.

Death Without Debt is a social movement dedicated to: exposing the reasons why funeral costs are so high; and changing the law to make funerals and cremations more affordable for all New Zealanders.

In this episode, host Pete is joined by Fergus Wheeler from the Death Without Debt campaign. Fergus describes the New Zealand funeral industry, shares how organising funerals for his parents led him to believe that something is seriously wrong with the funeral system in New Zealand and explains the issues that prevent families managing the funeral or cremation process themselves.
