What is this innovation about?

EcoToiletten has developed innovative stationary eco-toilets that are self-sufficient, as they can operate without the need for water, electricity, or chemical agents, significantly reducing environmental impact. These toilets integrate an innovative conveyor-belt technology with a storage concept, so biological waste is automatically separated and collected in separate large containers that are regularly collected by EcoToiletten and safely processed into compost.

What’s in it for a tourism SME?

EcoToiletten offers a practical, eco-friendly sanitation solution that reduces operational costs and infrastructure requirements. These eco-toilets are ideal for rural settings, campsites, or events, but can also be used in urban settings. Their self-sufficient design eliminates the need for and the cost of water, energy and sewage connections, simplifying installation and maintenance. They also support environmental sustainability by converting waste into compostable material, contributing to a circular economy.

Consider that:

Eco-toilets can be purchased or rented. In both cases, EcoToiletten offers periodic cleaning and maintenance, reparations, professional disposal and recycling of biological waste. They can be installed to be used for short periods or permanently and are available in different versions, from mobile toilets to ultra-modern, permanent and robust city toilets. Moreover, they are designed to be odourless, enhancing user comfort.
