Composting toilets : tremendous water savings

14m3 of water for one person every year ! It is the average of what goes in the toilets in Western countries ; that is to say a third of the consumption of water for a home. Impressive, even unsettling when you know the importance of the resource for the living species on the planet. Knowing that in France for example, this flushing water is… drinkable !! (leading cause of death in the world, 1.2 billion people lack access to drinking water …) One m3 of water is about 2,5€. Savings are here obvious : 140€/year for a home of 4 people ; thousands of euros for a hotel …

Your customers become production “tools”…

In general, natural waste that fall into the toilet is discharged to sewers (in urban areas) or land in the septic tank. In addition not to use water, composting toilets interest is to recycle and reuse these materials produced by clients of your accommodation. Indeed, these materials are an excellent compost for parks, gardens or other crops.

Enough prejudices!

Don’t be scared, with a great installation and a suitable maintenance, no unpleasantness for your customers such as malodour. You just need to take into the habit of dealing with this kind of waste, as well as reusing raining water, or using a pellet stove for example.

At the Eco-logis d’Ensarnaut, the composting toilets are here with an educational goal. Customers can also use “classical” toilets, but can most importantly try the composting toilets and get convinced…
