As the CompostEra toilet is a closed system, no effluent is released into the environment.

Designed for comfort, built for the planet

The CompostEra toilet uses long-term composting to prevent pollution, lower costs and reduce maintenance. It’s also waterless, odour-free, pleasant to use – and, importantly, it requires no handling of toilet waste.

CompostEra toilets can be found all around the world – from Sweden and Iceland to Portugal and Haiti.

Introducing the CompostEra Toilet

Our long-term composting toilet solution is a pollution-free, odourless and waterless toilet that transforms human waste into a nutrient-rich compost liquid with minimal maintenance and cost. Designed for both year-round use and seasonal homes, our systems meet the highest environmental requirements and are suitable for environmentally sensitive areas.

CompostEra is nice to use too with no unpleasant sights or smells. And unlike other composting toilets, the CompostEra system requires no disgusting emptying or handling of faeces or urine. Instead, the toilet waste and potentially harmful pathogens are safely left to decompose in the compost tank and much of the liquid evaporates.

CompostEra toilets are not only more sustainable than incineration, freeze toilets and other alternatives – they are less work and will save you money in the long term as well.

Who are CompostEra toilets for?

CompostEra is the perfect solution for people seeking a highly sustainable, low-maintenance and cost-effective toilet that does not compromise on comfort. They can be installed in year-round or seasonal properties, such as summer houses, that have space under the bathroom.

Six benefits of CompostEra Toilets

Thanks to its built-in fan and concealed waste design, CompostEra systems are completely odour-free and visually clean.

A CompostEra toilet system is much cheaper to install than a conventional sewage system. Additionally, a property with a CompostEra toilet will only require a greywater purification system, which is less expensive than a wastewater system for both black (toilet) and greywater combined.

A CompostEra toilet is easy to maintain and requires minimal intervention – with no unpleasant handling of solid waste or urine. The composting tank only needs to be emptied every 15-30 years by a vacuum truck – depending on use. The system also uses no heating elements that can burn out, no pipes that can leak, clog, freeze, or other essential parts that can fail mechanically.

The CompostEra toilet uses no water for flushing. As around 30% of the water used by a household is flushed down the toilet, CompostEra can help homes use much less water.

As the CompostEra toilet is a closed system, no effluent is released into the environment.

The CompostEra system converts toilet waste into a nutrient-rich plant fertiliser that can be used on trees, bushes and lawns. By transforming the problem of human waste into a valuable resource, a CompostEra system can be a central element in a sustainable garden. The compost liquid smells of sweet compost and contains no harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Intestinal Enterococci (IE). As it is high in nitrogen and contains micronutrients, the liquid is a perfect organic fertiliser.
