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 sophisticated system for anyone who wants to live not only self-sufficiently but also think in terms of recycling.
From the first sketch to the final screw cap, the ECO 1 was designed with durability, simplicity, and sustainability in mind – and above all, one thing: recyclability.

What makes the ECO 1 so special?

The ECO 1 differs from classic composting toilets due to its modular design.
Instead of glued materials or disposable plastic, it relies on:

  • 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.
All parts can be separated and even recombined – for example, to build a completely different product.

Designed for Upcycling

The ECO 1 is not simply “recyclable” – it was designed from the ground up for upcycling .
Their components can later be reused, for example, as a small stool, tool box, planter box or portable camping shelf.

There are no limits to creativity – you decide what second life your composting toilet will have.

Materials with meaning

The materials of the ECO 1 are deliberately chosen to be functional and recyclable:

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

All materials are lightweight, strong, water-resistant, and globally traceable—ideal for sustainable, forward-looking design.

Dismountable and reusable

A big 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 conscious use of resources.
An invitation to all tinkerers, DIYers and upcyclers.
And 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 life?
