Where are separation toilets used?
If there is no sewer, the composting toilet comes into play.
Separate toilets are used wherever a traditional toilet is not possible – i.e. whenever there is no sewer connection or no water for flushing.
Typical locations are:
- remote cabins and hunting grounds
- Forest kindergartens
- Bunkers and cellars without water connection
- Garden sheds and tiny houses
- In short: wherever self-sufficiency is required – or where flushing with drinking water simply doesn’t make sense.
From bucket toilet to modern composting toilet
In the past, it was the outhouse, the thunder beam, or simply a bucket with a lid.
Today, the composting toilet is the modern standard – more hygienic, less odorous, more resource-efficient and significantly easier to dispose of.
It offers more comfort and sustainability than any temporary solution – and is no longer a niche topic.
Temporary use: festivals, camps & Co.
Separate toilets are used not only permanently but also temporarily – for example:
- at festivals
- in refugee shelters
- in emergency and disaster relief
- on construction sites without infrastructure
Especially in such situations, water is precious – and there is often no sewage system at all.
The composting toilet works wherever independence is required.
What about chemical toilets?
Sure, everyone knows the classic Dixies or ToiTois – but they contain aggressive chemicals, generate hazardous waste, and make users dependent on external disposal companies.
Urinary separation toilets are the clean, low-maintenance and environmentally friendly alternative.
No chemicals, no water, no waste – simply clever.
Conclusion: Independent and environmentally conscious
With a composting toilet, you are free from the sewer, free from the water connection – and free to create your own cycle.
The only limiting factor is the capacity of the containers – and we take care of that too.
