ECO 1 – Die Trenntoilette für Upcycling-Fans

ECO 1 – The composting toilet for upcycling fans

The ECO 1 is more than just a composting toilet. It's a well-thought-out system for anyone who wants to not only live self-sufficiently but also think in terms of recycling. From the initial sketch to the final screw cap, the ECO 1 was designed with durability, simplicity, and sustainability in mind – and above all, one thing in mind: recyclability.

What makes the ECO 1 so special?

The ECO 1 differs from traditional composting toilets in its modular design . Instead of glued materials or disposable plastic, we use:

  • screwed connecting parts
  • a clever mix of wood (multiplex), aluminum, PP and PVC
  • fully recyclable components

This means that after its life as a composting toilet, nothing has to end up in the trash.
On the contrary – all parts can be separated and even recombined to create a completely different product.

Designed for upcycling

The ECO 1 isn't simply "recyclable"—it was designed from the ground up for upcycling . The components can later be used as, for example,

  • small stool
  • toolbox
  • Planter box
  • portable camping shelf

be reused. There are no limits to creativity – and you decide what the next life of your composting toilet will look like.

Materials with meaning

The individual materials were not chosen randomly. They were combined in such a way that they:

  • functional (water-resistant, lightweight, stable)
  • easy to process
  • and can be recycled in pure form

Be used:

  • PP for the divider insert
  • Multiplex wooden panels for the housing
  • ALU for the corner profiles
  • PVC for the connectors

These materials are known worldwide, standardized and traceable – perfect for anyone who wants to live true circularity.

Dismantable – and reusable

A major advantage of the ECO 1: It can be disassembled without tools . All parts can be removed, sorted, and reused without damage—in their original condition or for new DIY projects.

A toilet that doesn't end up in the trash, but becomes a workbench.

Conclusion: The ECO 1 is more than a composting toilet

It is a statement for a new approach to resources .
It is an invitation to all tinkerers, do-it-yourselfers and upcyclers.
And it is an example of how design, function and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Now it's up to you: What will you do with your ECO 1 once it has completed its first job?
