Yes, the sawdust-compost toilet works, but is it a viable option? I'd like it to be, but whenever I come across something like this, I put myself into the imagined mind of whoever is the pop-tart of the day (say, the One Direction kids or the girl who hates streaming...can't think of her name). Are they going to go through with the sawdust-on-poo ritual? Probably not.
Any solution that displaces the modern toilet will need to be at least as easy and thoughtless to operate as the current setup. I think a half-way solution is to outfit houses with a greywater circuit that could be used for the toilets. That would make a tremendous cut into the amount of drinking water that toilets are using.
- leoedin 12y agoThere's commercially available composting toilets which automate much of the required work. My parents use a compact Sun Mar toilet which is compact and very low maintenance. It looks like a really oversized toilet. The same company build larger units which do most of the composting in the basement - these look very similar to normal toilets. http://www.sun-mar.com/prod.html http://www.sun-mar.com/prod.html
