Composting Toilets

A composting toilet is a type of dry toilet that treats feces through a biological process known as composting.
This process decomposes organic elements, transforming human waste into compost. Microorganisms undertake composting under controlled aerobic circumstances (primarily bacteria and fungus). Because the majority of these toilets do not use water to clean or flush, they are referred to as "dry toilets" or "waterless toilets."

After each use, a carbon addition such as sawdust, peat moss or coconut coir is supplied to assist decompose the solid waste in various types of composting toilets. This method creates air gaps for the aerobic decomposition of human excrement.

This also raises the amounts of carbon and nitrogen, which reduces possible odors.

An off grid composting toilet is a self-contained, waterless and odorless toilet system. It's designed to be installed in areas where there is no access to running water or sewage systems, like when you live off grid with limited freshwater supply or sanitation infrastructure.
The design of an off grid composting toilet includes three main parts: the holding tank, the composter and the ventilation fan - these are all combined within one portable package that can easily be set up by just about anyone!
There are many simple and effective ways to build your own self contained composting toilet, as a cost effective alternative to buying composting toilet products from a company such as Sun mar or Nature's head where the prices can go up to the thousands.
