Constructing an ecosan toilet -- A film from UNICEF

Great video and great animation! thanks for sharing, I was looking for the best model (that means practical!) and I think this model is the best. I will try to make it in my home. Thanks again!

I also wonder how many people just pee and poo in the same hole? How feasible is it that you manage to aim in the correct hole each time? Why separate the urine and the faeces? Some composting toilets seem to just let you do both in the same hole....

why can you not use dirt or soil to put on top instead off ash, saw dust, etc

We had this in Afghanistan. No one is gonna shift from excrement to urine.

Brilliant concept. We should be using this system in the West instead of wasting a valuable resource like water. We have made our own dry toilet system, which has been in use for a year now - it comprises a compost bin and cabin with two receptacles - the urine, diluted, goes straight on the garden. The material used is recycled pallet wood and the films explaining how to make it are on my channel. Thanks for posting this and all the Best from Normandie! Organikmechanic aka Andy

@Organikmechanic there's also something called the lovable loo. It's the same concept but everything goes into a bucket and is put into a composting area. That's awesome you have your own dry toilet system. I eventually want to try this type of composting but I live in an apartment and my family thinks I'm insane for wanting to do this. lol

@missartist123 I've just looked at the loveable loo, some of our friends have this and it works superbly. In our house we have one but use it solely for liquids, is emptied every day, diluted and used around the garden.

Hope you get the chance of having your own system soon and rest assured you are not insane!!!!

Best wishes from Normandie, Andy aka Organikmechanic.

You can also harvest the methane for natural gas.

This new approach could give Philippines an improvement in terms of their agricultural problems. With these, people could produce more fertilizer - One of the problems here, because of not enough fundings. This type of toilets are also good to use for masses, as it can save water.

great introduction to how it works
