This toilet is also called a separating or urine-diverting toilet. It means that urine is collected in one separate container and solid waste in another. The reason ordinary toilets smell is that these two components mix together, triggering a fermentation process that releases gases. To achieve natural separation during use, this toilet is fitted with a specially shaped bowl. Urine can be safely poured out into nature as it is not harmful, and when diluted at a 1:10 ratio it can be used directly as a fertiliser. Solid waste is collected in an eco-friendly bag that is biodegradable, and after each use it is covered with sawdust or spent coffee grounds from the coffee machine. This allows the waste to dry out, which eliminates odour. Once the bag contains enough material, it can be added to a compost bin. Composting for a period of 2 years is recommended. It is important that the compost works properly and that the contents reach a temperature of approximately 60 °C for several days. My compost works excellently this way – I will share more updates on that. The bag can of course also simply be thrown in with regular household waste. Check my older posts to see photos, including the toilet in its disassembled state. I will add some notes from practical use over time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
