Toilets are instrumental in many critical environmental issues because they deal primarily with waste disposal and management. They also play a crucial role in combating contaminated water and diarrhea. Several countries worldwide still need access to working toilets or enough water to dispose of waste adequately.
However, many creative solutions for making cost-effective, environmentally friendly toilets that adapt to different environments have resurfaced. These toilets will revolutionize how we use bathrooms and pave the way for better water conservation and sustainability efforts.
Here are some remarkable examples of sustainable toilets that make waste disposal eco-friendly.
Turning human waste into manure
Bio-digester toilets convert human waste into gases and manure by sending it into a bio-digester tank to ferment it. The gases in these tanks can perform several household tasks, such as lighting the fireplace, gas stoves, or other heating equipment. They can even be used to create electricity. The other byproduct is most commonly used as a fertilizer for farming and gardening purposes.
Self-cleaning toilets that are powered by the sun
Solar energy has become a popular alternative for several companies and households, but using it exclusively for toilets is an innovation we can support. The Indian team for Eram Scientific makes stainless steel toilets that can be placed anywhere with limited access to electricity and proper sanitation. The toilets have customer support facilities, sensors that can record usage levels, and even GPS units.
Bamboo toilets
These inexpensive, low-tech toilets are eco-friendly and help the bamboo industry thrive. They are also solid and trendy in areas where the plant is locally and organically sourced. This is why several organizations like UNICEF and the Stockholm Environment Institute promote bamboo toilets worldwide.
If you’re looking for ways to make your modern or traditional toilet eco-friendly and sustainable, consider investing in Trackless Flush Sheets.
What are Trackless Flush Sheets?
Trackless Flush Sheets are soluble paper sheets that dissolve in the water inside a commode and contain enzymes that help break down the waste and reduce the amount of water and harmful cleaning chemicals needed to flush. They also eliminate the need for costly plumbing and septic repair.
