Toilets are instrumental in many important environmental issues because they deal primarily with waste disposal and management. They also play a crucial role in combating contaminated water and diarrhea. There are several countries around the world that still struggle with access to working toilets or even enough water to adequately dispose of waste.
However, many creative solutions for making cost-effective and environmentally-friendly toilets have resurfaced that can adapt to different kinds of environments. These types of toilets will revolutionize how we use bathrooms and perhaps pave the way for better efforts toward water conservation and sustainability.
Here are some remarkable examples of sustainable toilets that are making waste disposal eco-friendly.
Turning human waste into manure
Bio-digester toilets convert human waste into gases and manure by sending it into a bio-digester tank to ferment it. The gases in these tanks can be used to perform a number of household tasks such as lighting the fireplace, gas stoves, or other heating equipment. They can even be used to create electricity. The other byproduct is most commonly used as a fertilizer for farming and gardening purposes.
Self-cleaning toilets that are powered by the sun
Solar energy has become a popular alternative for several companies and households but to use it exclusively for toilets is an innovation we can get behind. The Indian team for Eram Scientific makes these toilets out of stainless steel that can be placed anywhere with limited access to electricity and proper sanitation. The toilets come with customer support facilities, sensors that can record usage levels, and even GPS units.
Bamboo toilets
These inexpensive and low-tech toilets are eco-friendly and help the bamboo industry thrive. They are also incredibly strong and are very popular in areas where the plant is locally and organically sourced. This is why several organizations like UNICEF and the Stockholm Environment Institute promote bamboo toilets all over the world.
