Ezygonow’s vision is to provide Australian outdoor enthusiasts freedom in adventure. Whether it be camping, hiking, rock-climbing, hunting, four-wheel driving tours, fishing, kayaking, Ezygonow envisages hassle-free outdoor experiences for all with Cleanwaste products never far away.

Our Story
Ezygonow was founded by an Australian family who love the outdoors. With convenience high on their priority list, they realised there was a need for such high-quality, compact and portable products in the Australian market. To satisfy the needs of all outdoor adventurers in Australia and to eliminate the stress of people wondering where they are “going to go” next it was obvious that introducing these Cleanwaste products in Australia was paramount. And so, Ezygonow was formed.

Our Products
Ezygonow provides Cleanwaste products which are suitable for a variety of markets including, but not limited to, outdoor, emergency and disaster services, defence forces, home and institutional healthcare, transportation, construction and mining.
