FAQ
General questions about composting toilets
A composting toilet is a waterless toilet that collects solids and liquids separately. Drying and natural microorganisms initiate a hygienic composting process – without requiring a water connection or chemicals.
Composting toilets do not require water or chemical additives. They are more eco-friendly, conserve resources, and produce less odor compared to traditional mobile chemical toilets.
When used properly, composting toilets produce very little odor. Separating urine and solids, combined with natural cover material, effectively prevents unpleasant smells.
The separation of solids and liquids along with drying by cover material prevents odor formation even in high temperatures.
Yes, thanks to the separation system and robust design, they operate reliably even in freezing temperatures and snow – whether on winter construction sites, outdoor events, or high-altitude hiking trails. Without complex technology, composting toilets offer high operational reliability – ideal for permanent or seasonal use in public spaces.
Composting toilets are ideal for festivals, construction sites, public areas, private gardens, holiday homes, and off-grid living – anywhere a sustainable, independent, and odor-free sanitation solution is needed.
Emptying is easy: solids can be composted or disposed of. Urine is collected separately and, depending on local regulations, can either be directed into an existing wastewater system, disposed of separately, or used as fertilizer after appropriate dilution.
