"even my tween, teen, 8yo boy, and toddler can change the TP now!"

Figura × BetterWay · Special Edition
We partnered with Figura Studio to make a special edition of their TP holder. It changes rolls with one hand, it's 3D-printed from recycled plastic, colored with natural pigments, and hand assembled in Wichita.
01 · How it works
Changing toilet paper shouldn't be a two-handed wrestling match. The Roto's spring-loaded arms release, rotate, and lock in a new roll with a single push. No fumbling. No dropping the roll on the floor. No spring bar that fights you every time.
01 · Mechanism
Grab a new roll and push. The Roto's spring-loaded arms release, rotate, and return — locking the roll in place. No second hand needed.
02 · Material
The body is 3D printed from recycled PLA, putting manufacturing waste to work instead of sending it to landfill. The arms are anodized aluminum, and the color comes from natural pigments like algae instead of synthetic dyes.
03 · Install
Hidden hardware keeps your wall clean while holding rock-solid. All you need is a screwdriver and five minutes.
02 · The Collaboration
The first time we came across Figura Studio's toilet paper holders, we were mind-blown. The design is smart in the way good design is supposed to be smart: beautiful, and it actually works better. Suddenly, changing a roll goes from being an annoying experience to a really satisfying one.
We knew right away this was a perfect fit for a collaboration. So when thinking about what we'd bring to the table we asked ourselves the same question we always ask: how can we make this even better? That sent us looking at the material itself. 3D-printing is an inherently better way to manufacture because you only produce what's needed, and there's a lot less waste. But what if the material itself could carry a sustainability story too?
So we made a special edition 3D printed from recycled PLA, plastic waste that would have ended up in a landfill, now turned into something you'd actually want to give a home to. The arms are anodized aluminum, built to last. The colors come from natural pigments like red algae instead of synthetic dyes.
Figura brings the design and the craft. We bring the push toward recycled materials.
A Figura Studio × Betterway collaboration.

04 · The Special Edition
Recycling is all about making the old new. So for the special edition, we used that as our inspiration and went vintage. The result is a retro checkerboard pattern that nods at the 70s, with a wavy twist that makes it feel fresh today. Designed to bring some fun and funk into an otherwise boring object, each one is 3D printed piece by piece by Figura Studio.

06 · How It's Made
Every Roto starts as recycled plant-based plastic and ends up as something you actually want in your bathroom. Here's what happens in between.
01
The PLA filament is made from plant-based plastic manufacturing waste — material that would have ended up in a landfill, now getting a second life as something worth keeping.
02
3D printed on demand. No molds, no overproduction. We print what you ordered. Nothing more, nothing thrown away.
03
Hand-assembled by Figura Studio, piece by piece. Each Roto may vary slightly, because that's what happens when humans make things.
