BIO-TOILETS

Bringing Sanitation to India and BeyondBio-Digester for Single Families & Communities

Sanitation facilities in India are alarmingly poor with over 600 million people having no access to toilets. People are forced to defecate in the open. This practice poses health hazards, raises environmental concerns and leads to water contamination. 

BIO-TOILETS

DRDO, an Indian defense R&D body, developed the patented bio-digester technology – a set of bacteria that “eat away” human faeces. Human waste is treated on-site in a green way, using naturally inoculated bacterial culture, which does not require any external energy or removal of sludge. The system gives out re-usable water and utilizable biogas.It is maintenance-free and highly customizable. Bioloos are independent units and can cater to single families to large communities.

Bioloo provides a toilet and the “on-site” waste treatment facility. This ensures that the household is not dependent on external infrastructure for waste transportation and treatment.
