Why A Composting Toilet?
Saving our streams and fresh water from pollution and recycling our waste to use as nature intended. It is easy to use, no more trouble than taking out the trash 3 times a week, and doing a bit of housekeeping a couple times a year. How it Works? Working like the compost heap in the backyard, but odorless and much faster, Sun-Mar toilets break down human waste and toilet paper through the natural process of decomposition. Because most of this waste is evaporated, only a very limited quantity of finished compost is produced. Oxygen, moisture, heat and organic material are needed to allow minute natural organisms to transform the waste to fertilizing soil. • Oxygen is provided by drum rotation and by the ventilation system. • Moisture is obtained directly from human waste. • Organic material in the form of peat moss is added manually, since this organic carbon is absorbent, holds oxygen, and is cheap and readily available. • Heat is generated by the compost itself, assisted by the heatin
