During my research on new composting technologies I have come across an Australian company retailing a composting toilet for domestic use. I always knew of these toilets for use in remote areas, but did not know about them for use in peoples homes. These toilets are waterless, (which is important in the current environmental conditions) which saves around 35000 litres of water every year. The company also claims them to be free of odours and chemicals. The process works like any composting system by ensuring correct levels of oxygen, moisture, temperature and carbon/nitrogen ratio. However, these toilets do retail for around $2000 - $3000 each, so are quite dear. This is a familiar theme for many new environmental technologies.
