Boxio Accessories

Boxio Accessories covers the consumables, spares, and add-on parts that go with the Boxio Toilet and Boxio Wash systems. The range groups everything from hemp litter and compostable bio bags through to the Water Filter system, Shower attachment, Mirror, Plug, Beads cleaning balls, Shake litter container, and the Toilet Paper Bag. Most items are small, low-cost refills designed to keep the main Boxio units running, alongside a handful of upgrades that extend what the toilet and sink can do.

Which Boxio accessories do I actually need with the toilet and wash?


For the Boxio Toilet, the regular consumables are Hemp Litter (for odour control) and Bio Bags (for solid waste). The Plug seals the urine canister between uses, and the Shake stores hemp litter. For the Boxio Wash, the Shower adds a hose attachment, the Mirror fits the lid, the Beads clean the canister, and the Water Filter and replacement pads filter raw water before use.

The collection splits across two camps. Toilet-related items include the Hemp Litter (a 100% plant-based natural litter from hemp stalk core that absorbs moisture and reduces odours), Bio Bags (certified compostable bags for the solids container), the Plug (a conical seal for the urine canister to stop spills and odours during transit), the Shake (an airtight 2.8L container for storing hemp litter and dosing it through dispensing openings), and the Toilet Paper Bag (a holder that mounts on the toilet for tidy paper storage). Wash-related items include the Shower (a flexible hose with on/off switch, around 100 cm long, that plugs into the Wash pump), the Mirror (a self-adhesive mirror), the Beads (stainless steel cleaning balls that shake out canister residue without chemicals), the Water Filter (a backwashable filter with pre-filter and activated carbon pad that removes 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics), the Water Filter Replacement Pads (3 pre-filters and 3 activated carbon pads), and the Water Filter System with 5L water bag (the filter plus a gravity-feed water bag).

Buyers in this collection are existing Boxio Toilet and Boxio Wash owners restocking consumables, plus new owners building out their setup with upgrades the starter kits don't include. Hemp litter and bio bags are the most frequently re-ordered items, since the toilet uses around one bag every 8 to 10 visits and a sprinkle of hemp litter per use. The Water Filter system is popular with vanlifers, overlanders, and trekkers filling canisters from streams, taps of unknown quality, or campsite taps. The Shake is bought by anyone tired of opening dusty hemp litter bags inside the van. To check what stock items the toilets and sinks themselves include, head over to the Boxio Toilet and Boxio Wash collections.

If you're stocking up consumables, the rule of thumb is one pack of hemp litter and one pack of bio bags per 8 to 10 weekend trips per person, though heavy users can go through stock faster. The Plug is a one-time purchase that comes with the toilet starter kits but is worth holding a spare for. The Water Filter is the upgrade path for anyone wanting to drink from non-potable sources, with the standalone Filter aimed at users who already have a water bag and the Filter System with 5L water bag aimed at first-time buyers. Replacement pads should be swapped after extended storage or visible discolouration. Price tier across the accessories runs from low-cost consumables (bio bags, hemp litter, plug) through to mid-range upgrades (the Water Filter System).

A common mistake is using non-compostable bin liners instead of Bio Bags. Standard bags don't break down properly and aren't tear-resistant enough for solid waste. Another is skipping the hemp litter, which leaves the solids container damp and prone to odours. The Plug fits only the Boxio Toilet urine canister, not the Wash canisters, so check before ordering. The Water Filter pre-filter and activated carbon pads are consumables, not lifetime parts. Replace them after long periods of disuse, after visible sediment build-up, or when flow rate drops. Store hemp litter in the Shake (or another airtight container) to keep it dry, since damp litter loses its odour-binding and moisture-absorbing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Boxio hemp litter do and how much do I need?
Boxio hemp litter is a 100% plant-based natural litter made from the core of the hemp stalk. A small handful sprinkled over solids after each use absorbs moisture from waste and binds odours. Hemp is dust-cleaned for low-dust handling and fully compostable, making it suitable for users moving on from cat-litter or sawdust alternatives. Boxio supplies it in 5.6-litre bags.
Can I use alternatives to Boxio hemp litter in the toilet?
Yes. Coconut coir, sawdust, wood-pellet cat litter, and other dry absorbent media all work in a Boxio separating toilet. Hemp litter is Boxio's recommended option because of its absorbency and odour-binding performance, and because it's fully compostable. Avoid clumping clay-based cat litters, which retain moisture and don't compost. Keep whichever litter you use stored dry in a sealed container like the Boxio Shake.
What are Boxio Bio Bags and why use compostable bags?
Boxio Bio Bags are certified compostable bin liners sized to fit the solids container of the Boxio Toilet. Each pack contains 25 bags, made from tear-resistant, renewable materials. Compostable bags break down with the waste they contain, suitable for home composting or general waste disposal where local rules allow. Standard plastic bin liners aren't recommended because they don't decompose and reduce the system's environmental credentials.
What does the Boxio Plug do and is it included with the toilet?
The Boxio Plug is a conical rubber stopper that seals the urine drain on the toilet's separator insert, preventing liquid spills and ammonia odours from rising through the canister during transit. The Plug is included with both the Toilet Plus and Toilet Max Plus starter kits, but a spare is worth keeping. The Plug fits only the Boxio Toilet urine canister, not the Wash canisters.
What is the Boxio Shake hemp litter container for?
The Boxio Shake is a 2.8-litre airtight dispenser for hemp litter. Two dispensing openings in the lid let you sprinkle the right amount of litter into the toilet without opening the bag each time. The airtight seal keeps hemp litter dry on bumpy roads and stops it absorbing ambient moisture inside the van. The Shake fits inside the Solo-Up or Toilet-Up storage box.
How does the Boxio Water Filter work?
The Boxio Water Filter uses a two-stage system: a PP cotton pre-filter removes sediment, sand, rust, and suspended solids, then a hollow-fibre ultrafiltration (UF) membrane removes 99.99% of bacteria, protozoa, and microplastics. An activated carbon pad reduces odours and improves taste. The filter is backwashable and reusable. It can be used as a straw, with a flexible bottle, or with the 5L water bag for gravity-feed filtration.
What's the difference between the Boxio Water Filter and the Water Filter System?
The Boxio Water Filter is the standalone filter unit (housing, UF membrane, pre-filter, activated carbon pad, silicone seals). The Boxio Water Filter System bundles the same filter with a 5-litre TPU water bag for collecting raw water from a source and hanging it above the filter for gravity-fed filtration. Choose the Water Filter on its own if you already have a hydration bladder or PET bottle; choose the System for a complete first-time setup.
When should I replace the Boxio Water Filter pads?
Replace the pre-filter and activated carbon pads after extended storage, after visible sediment build-up or discolouration, or when flow rate drops noticeably. The Boxio Water Filter Replacement Pads pack contains pre-filters and activated carbon pads for refresh cycles. The UF membrane itself is backwashable and reusable, so it lasts considerably longer than the consumable pads.
What does the Boxio Beads cleaning ball set do?
Boxio Beads are stainless steel cleaning balls designed to scrub the inside of the Boxio Wash freshwater and greywater canisters without chemicals. Drop the beads in with a small amount of water, shake the canister, and tip out to lift limescale, residue, and biofilm. The beads are reusable, rustproof, and safe for drinking-water contact surfaces. They're a one-time purchase rather than a consumable.
What's the Boxio Shower used for?
The Boxio Shower is a flexible hose attachment (around 100 cm extended) with an on/off switch on the head, designed to plug into the Boxio Wash pump in place of the standard tap. It runs off the Wash's 5-litre fresh canister with no electricity needed. Common uses are rinsing sandy feet, washing dogs, cleaning bikes, dish rinsing, and festival showers. It's included in the Wash Plus bundle.
What is the Boxio Mirror and how does it attach?
The Boxio Mirror is a self-adhesive mirror sized to sit on the inside of the Boxio Wash lid, turning the open lid into a vanity for shaving, brushing teeth, or applying contact lenses. Adhesive-backed and designed to fit the standard 40 x 30 cm Eurobox lid footprint. Included in the Wash Plus starter set; available separately for users with the standalone Wash.
How often should I restock Boxio bio bags and hemp litter?
One Boxio Bio Bag covers a full solids cycle of around 8 to 10 uses, and one bag of hemp litter typically lasts several solids cycles depending on how generously you sprinkle. A solo weekender doing 2 to 3 trips a month tends to get through one pack of bio bags and one bag of hemp litter every few months. Two-person full-time vanlifers get through stock noticeably faster, so plan refill orders accordingly.
