WC Loc: Hygiene on set, a major challenge for the film industry

The ideal partner for hygiene on film and series sets

Hygiene is essential on film and TV sets, and WC Loc has established itself as a key player in this field. Whether on nationally or internationally renowned sets, the company offers mobile sanitation solutions adapted to every need. The partnership between the production company Ciné Nomine and WC Loc during the filming of the movie "Un p'tit truc en plus" is a perfect illustration of this. This collaboration enabled the use of two of WC Loc's flagship products: the standard self-contained cabin and the dry toilet cabin, thus offering flexibility and compliance with environmental standards while ensuring impeccable hygiene.

A successful collaboration on the set of “A Little Something Extra”

The film "A Little Something Extra," released in May 2024, has become a must-see success in French cinema, exceeding 9 million admissions. To ensure the smooth running of filming, WC Loc was asked to provide portable toilets adapted to the various filming locations. This partnership spanned several months and demonstrated the effectiveness of WC Loc's services in large-scale productions. Indeed, filming conditions require meticulous organization, where hygiene plays a key role in ensuring the safety and comfort of the teams.

The technical challenges faced by WC Loc during filming

Filming a movie involves many challenges, particularly in terms of moving, installing, and maintaining restrooms. WC Loc has met these challenges by providing innovative solutions while respecting the specific requirements of filming.

1. Installation and respect for the decor : During filming, the set can only be modified in accordance with the principles of film and script continuity. The installation of the toilets must therefore adapt to these constraints, and the WC Loc teams work closely with the film's management to ensure perfect integration of the equipment without disrupting the set.
2. Moving the toilets Film crews frequently move from one location to another, requiring temporary but efficient installations. WC Loc adapts to this requirement by deploying experienced driver-operators, capable of ensuring fast and optimized installations on different sites.
3. Equipment maintenance : Managing restrooms on a film set requires rigorous and regular maintenance to avoid any inconvenience. WC Loc offers a complete service, including emptying and cleaning the cabins, taking care not to interrupt filming. The maintenance teams respond quickly to ensure hygiene, even during the most stressful times, such as when the camera is rolling.
4. Staff management on set : The size of film crews varies depending on the scene, ranging from a few dozen to several thousand people. WC Loc therefore adjusts the number of restrooms according to the number of people present, thus ensuring the comfort and safety of all.

WC Loc's eco-friendly solutions serving the film industry

One of the key aspects of the partnership between WC Loc and Ciné Nomine is the introduction of eco-friendly sanitation solutions on set. The use of dry toilets was a real step forward in terms of environmental protection. These cabins, which do not require water, were chosen for their efficiency and low environmental impact.

1. A sustainable choice : Composting toilets offer many advantages on set. Not only do they consume no water, but they also promote the composting of waste, helping to reduce the production's carbon footprint.
2. Resistance and adaptability : Dry cabins are particularly suited to harsh weather conditions and prove to be a reliable choice, whatever the season. Their ease of maintenance makes them an ideal option for filming that takes place over long periods.

Hygiene on set: a crucial issue for the smooth running of productions

Hygiene on set is an often underestimated, yet crucial, aspect. To ensure the comfort of technical and artistic teams, WC Loc offers solutions adapted to each situation, whether on fixed or mobile shoots. Their expertise goes far beyond simple toilet cabins: the company also offers toilet caravans and 2-toilet units, specially designed to meet the specific needs of filming.

In addition to self-contained cabins and dry toilets, these facilities provide an additional level of comfort for crews on set. This comprehensive offering allows for the creation of pleasant living spaces, even under intense working conditions and time constraints.

A model of efficiency and environmental responsibility

By choosing WC Loc for the filming of "A Little Something Extra," Ciné Nomine demonstrated its commitment to sustainable practices. This choice of eco-friendly solutions, such as dry toilets, demonstrates a desire to combine performance with respect for the environment. WC Loc and Ciné Nomine are thus positioning themselves as pioneers, proving that the film industry can reinvent itself to integrate more responsible practices without compromising operational efficiency.

This collaboration between the two companies sets an example for future productions, whether film or television. By adopting an eco-responsible approach, WC Loc and Ciné Nomine are encouraging the entire industry to rethink its practices in favor of more sustainable development.

With tailor-made solutions, adapted to each shoot, and a strong commitment to environmental protection, WC Loc stands out as a trusted partner for hygiene needs on set.
