The Global Dry Toilet
Their vision is to make dry toilets an essential part of sustainable development, thus securing clean waters and a healthy environment for future generations. Our mission is to introduce functioning dry toilets together with controlled management of toilet waste and to make people aware of the benefits of dry sanitation.
A working toilet is one of the basic needs for humans. Poor toilets and inadequate waste water treatment can lead to pollution of surface and groundwater reservoirs. However, it is not necessary to use water to have modern and hygienic toilet facilities. Dry toilet technology offers variety of choices from summer cottages to stylish bathrooms.
