Julian Gonggrijp@researchbuzz One quote I want to comment on:
"timber and stainless steel finishes, along with a ventilated cedar structure and odour-absorbing mycelium compartments, replace the typical look and smell of composting toilets."
A "normal" #compostToilet should be ventilated as well and is not supposed to smell much, either. "Flush" with two big double handfuls of straw or other carbon and you'll be fine. I bet they isolated the fungus from a regular #compost toilet.

How to Make a Compost Toilet with a Wheelie Bin

Ideal solution would be composting dry toilets, for example Kailash Ecovillage in Portland.
Right now they could save flush water by collecting pee for gardens. Later scale up to the level of the Rich Earth Institute, peecycling in Vermont.
I wonder if Mexico City residents have adopted the California motto βIf itβs yellow, let it mellow. If itβs brown, flush it down.β Seems like a cultural thing.

@Helengraham There is a co-housing community in Portland, Oregon, that operates a large and code-compliant humanure facility.
It's code-compliant because they went to the international plumbing code authorities and advocated for their system. That's a huge undertaking.

Knee NeartTorn between the excitement of friends coming to visit and concern about suddenly needing the #compostToilet to service 7 people from its usual 3. π¬π·
GssyWe've been using a bucket-based compost toilet in suburbia for the past few years. It has a 12V computer fan that keeps the inside of the system at negative pressure relative to the bathroom. What's surprised me, is that it smells *less* then a "normal" flush toilet. There is no odour, at all, during use. We don't even need the bathroom exhaust fan.
It separates wee and poo and uses almost no water. I empty the wee daily onto our trees, and the poo weekly into a compost bin which takes about 6 months to break down into odour free soil.
It's been a revelation - we're saving water, closing the nutrient loop, don't have to pay for a plumber, and our trees have never looked happier.
In terms of "yuck-factor", if you've dealt with nappies, this is totally fine. #compost #compostadon #CompostToilet
