Keeping It Cozy

No. All our composting toilets are completely odorless. There is no smell whatsoever coming out from the toilet.

How is that possible, you may ask. The secret lies in effectively separating so-called excess liquid (a.k.a. leachate) from the solid waste within the system. This, combined with proper ventilation, ensures a pleasant, non-smelly composting toilet experience.

Yes, all our composting toilets work well in cold climates. However, the natural composting process slows down significantly or stops when temperatures drop below freezing. The process will resume when temperatures rise, such as in the spring.

For cold climates, batch systems are often a better choice as they are easier to maintain in freezing conditions. Continuous systems can be more challenging to manage if the waste freezes inside the composting container.

Importantly, the cold climate does not affect the usability of the toilet itself—you can still use it normally. Just keep in mind that it will take longer for the waste to fully decompose into reusable compost.
