The document describes a device called the Guldkannan Towa, which is part chamber pot and part watering can. It is designed to collect human urine, which can then be diluted and used as a natural fertilizer for gardens. Urine contains nitrogen that is similar in composition to commercial fertilizers. The durable plastic Guldkannan Towa can hold up to 10 liters of "liquid gold" urine and keep odors contained. When the urine is diluted and applied to soil, garden yields are reported to be up to seven times higher than without fertilizer. The device sells for 595 SEK including VAT and is available in Europe.

1. BREAK & COMBINE

2. 1 write down:Write down your starting item or problem.e.g. chamber pot

3. 2 decompose in: Decompose your item or problem into at least 4 basic properties (adjectives). e.g. ... smelly ... ... caring ...... plastic ...... robust ...

4. 3 associate with: Dig deeper into the meaning of the properties by splitting up every feature into 2 new features. You’ll find 8 properties (adjectives) indirectly referring to your starting item or problem. e.g. smelly  perfumed, malodorous caring  generous, helpful plastic  colorful, water-resistantrobust  strong, indestructible

5. 4 invent: Be inventive! Merge every 2 properties into 1 new item or product idea. Don’t stick to your starting item! By repeating this several times, you’ll end up this stage with at least 4 new ideas. e.g.perfumed + malodorous = a disinfectantgenerous + helpful = doctorcolorful + water-resistant = watering can strong + indestructible = weed

6. 5 combine: Combine your starting problem/item with the new ideas you’ve found. What can be created out of this forced combination? e.g. disinfectant + chamber pot = a disinfectant which purifies the urine to water doctor + chamber pot = comfortable urinal for hospitalswatering can + chamber pot =homemade fertilizer systemweed + chamber pot = flowerpot

7. Farmers around the globe are expected to use more than 170 million tonnes of fertilizer this year, according to a recent report from the International Fertilizer Industry Association, spending untold sums in the process. Swedish startup Guldkannan AB, however, believes the best fertilizer in the world is completely natural and free. That's because it's based on none other than human urine, an ancient gardening aid that's remarkably similar in composition to many fertilizers. Now, Guldkannan sells a device to help gardeners around the world put the nitrogen-rich power of urine to work in their gardens. Part chamber pot and part watering can, the patented Guldkannan Towa is ergonomically designed to be comfortable to sit on, and can accommodate up to 150 kilos. Capable of holding as much as 10 litres of “liquid gold,” it seals tightly to keep the urine's nitrogen as well as odours contained inside. Gardeners need only dilute the resulting urine with water and apply to their soil for yields as much as seven times higher than would be achieved without fertilizer, Guldkannan says. The durable plastic Towa is available within Europe for SEK 595 including Swedish VAT, postage and handling.
