 Reduce and Recycle Waste up to 90%
What is waste?
Almost 90% of all toilet waste is water, the balance is organic material.
Where does it go?
A large percentage of the water portion of waste is evaporated through a vent to the outside, dramatically reducing the waste, which is then recycled into natural compost.
How does this happen?
The continuous action of aerobic microbes makes this happen. Periodically, a small amount of peat moss (standard, garden variety), and optionally, additional Compost Accelerator is added.
When do you empty it?
As little as once a year using the built-in Rake Bar (the bottom bar on the front of the Envirolet®), the recycled waste is raked down into a collecting tray and a small amount of natural compost is emptied into your garden, completing nature's cycle.
Is "turning" necessary?
Some claim that turning the waste, like in a drum, is necessary. But, this is simply not the case. Click here to read more about why (from The Humanure Handbook, a great composting toilet resource by Joseph Jenkins). Composting is more simple than you thought!
| Advanced systems save you money
Envirolet® is in every way the match of any septic tank or conventional toilet system and is vastly superior in an environmental sense. The overall cost of even the most sophisticated Envirolet® is thousands of dollars less.
Energy Choices to Suit Your Application
If you have no power and your needs are light choose our Non-Electric model, that operates with our powerful wind turbine. For all other applications choose an advanced 12v Battery unit or our energy-efficient 120v Electric system (also available in other AC Electric configurations outside of North America). For marine or RV applications our 12v models may be ideal.
