How Composting Toilets Work
How
it works
Material entering the toilet is usually about 90% water. The toilet
evaporates most of the water and carries the vapors up through
the vent chimney then odorlessly disperses them into the atmosphere.
Minimal plumbing needed and no septic system or holding tank to
pump out. Heat, oxygen and organic material break down the remaining
waste.
The composting
action is so effective that it will break down toilet paper within
a matter of days. Freezing temperatures will not harm the composting
unit, but for extended winter use a min. of about 60°F is
needed to keep the compost active. The compost is not affected
by long periods of non-use.
