The waterless toilets we sell use sunlight and wind to dry human waste. Once dried, the waste becomes a safe, neutral, odorless material which can be handled with the minimum of fuss.

Evaporating, Dehydrating Toilets

Just as nature recycles garden refuse into compost, evaporating, dehydrating toilets provide the right environment for human waste, toilet paper and organic material to break down through a natural process into an inoffensive compost-like material.

Human waste is made up of mostly water. Although the average human produces about half a tonne of waste per year, the solid matter is only about 25kg. (Volumes vary enormously depending on diet and liquid intake etc).

The waterless toilet (sometimes known as a 'de-watering' toilet, evaporating, or dehydrating toilet) deals with human waste by simply removing the water.

Waterless toilets use dehydration (the process of removing water from a compound) and evaporation (the conversion of a liquid into a gas).

For more information on waterless toilets, (why they don't smell, how pathogens are treated etc) please have a look at our Frequently Asked Questions and a quick comparison with composting toilets.
