Abstract
Although not widely used at present, composting toilets are beginning to be recognised by public health professionals as an environmentally sound method for dealing with human wastes. By their very nature, they require little or no water to function effectively and are therefore particularly suitable (although not exclusively) for use in locations where mains water and sewerage connections are not available, or in locations where water consumption has to be minimised as much as possible. This fact sheet contains extensive information on current developments in composting toilet technology and is recommended to anyone who believes that a composting toilet may provide the ‘water free’ solution to their sanitary issue.
