Everyone, everywhere needs toilets that don’t use water to flush and other ways to clean up.
This patented toilet-and-refill system is a wonder because it works like a flush toilet but doesn’t use water. It collects waste in a clean and odorless way so that it can be treated in a way that makes money. Loowatt systems make it possible for waste to be safely collected, held, and moved to treatment centers. This flexible, plug-and-play processing equipment gives utilities a source of feedstock for different waste-to-value systems, such as anaerobic digestion (waste-to-energy) and nutrient recovery. Over 250,000 people in the UK and Madagascar have used Loowatt services, and more than 300 tons of waste have been processed in facilities run by utilities that make energy and fertilizer.
Positive facts about Off-grid sustainable sanitation
Carbon footprint per average Loowatt flush is estimated to be 4 gCO2e compared to an average of 7gCO2e per water-flush
Captures waste for value-generating treatment, providing a valuable feedstock for anaerobic digestion that captures methane emissions for conversion to power
Payback time reached under 1 year
Can increase gross margin on services by 10-30% compared to conventional toilets
