Welcome to “World of Composting Toilets”

A website dedicated to spreading information about composting toilets around the world in order to help save water, recycle nutrients and inspire provision of low costs toilets to the billions in the world who do not even have this most basic of life’s essentials.

We have gathered a mass of information, links, pictures and stories to be updated to the site, so we are continually adding information. Have a look at out Latest News page to see our latest entries.
