What is a composting toilet?
A composting toilet is a self-contained, chemical-free sanitation system that separates and collects solid and liquid waste. A molded separator in the seat directs urine into a sealed canister and solids into a separate container, either a biodegradable bag or a collection tank with an agitator.
The separation process prevents odors, as plant fibers act as odor absorbers. A composting toilet operates without electricity or water and is suitable for mobile applications such as campers, tiny houses, boats, and garden sheds.
What are the advantages of composting toilets?
Composting toilets enable independent, odor-free, and hygienic toilet use, entirely without a water or electricity connection. The following advantages make composting toilets particularly attractive for use in self-sufficient living and travel situations.
Operation without water and electricity
Composting toilets function completely independently and require no connection to water pipes or electricity sources. This makes them ideal for remote locations, mobile applications, or sustainable living without infrastructure.
Odorless user experience
The consistent separation of urine and solids prevents the formation of unpleasant odors. The urine flows into a sealed canister, while the solids are stored dry and covered with natural materials such as hemp bedding or coconut fibers.
Simple, hygienic emptying
Disposal is carried out separately and with minimal contact. Liquids can easily be emptied into conventional drains or sinks, while solids can be removed cleanly and hygienically thanks to compostable bags or robust collection containers.
Comfort like with conventional toilets
Despite their technical simplicity, modern composting toilets offer a seating experience and ease of use that are in no way inferior to classic ceramic toilets. Ergonomic seats, robust construction, and well-thought-out details ensure familiar comfort.
Simple waste disposal
Since no chemical additives are necessary, urine and solids can be handled in an environmentally friendly manner via existing disposal systems or on one's own property. This makes its use both sustainable and practical.
Composting option
Dry storage of the solids opens up the possibility of environmentally friendly composting. With proper post-treatment, nutrient-rich humus is produced in the long term – a sustainable alternative to conventional disposal.

Why doesn't a composting toilet smell?
Why doesn't a composting toilet smell?
Our BioTioo composting toilet remains permanently odor-free because it consistently separates liquid and solid waste.
Odors typically only arise when these two components mix. The urine flows into a separate collection container with an integrated odor trap that blocks rising gases, prevents condensation, and reduces evaporation. This system prevents the typical odor formation that often occurs in conventional portable toilets due to mixing. The solids are either covered with bedding material (basic version) or, in the compost version, mixed evenly with plant fibers by an agitator. This allows everything to dry quickly, natural decomposition to begin, and unpleasant odors have no chance. Simple, regular cleaning of the urine container ensures the long-term effectiveness of the odor trap – entirely without chemicals or external ventilation systems.
How do you properly dispose of a composting toilet?
How do you properly dispose of a composting toilet?
Disposing of the contents of the composting toilet is incredibly easy. The urine is collected in the urine tank and can be conveniently emptied at any standard toilet, such as those found at rest stops or motorway service areas. After a few uses, the solid waste can be easily and cleanly emptied into the regular trash. You don't even need to worry about the toilet paper – you can either dispose of it separately or, if it's biodegradable, simply throw it into the composting toilet along with the waste!
How do I use a composting toilet?
How do I use a composting toilet?
Using a composting toilet is straightforward. Urine is collected in a separate tank, while solid waste ends up in another container. For urination, the clever separation system ensures that the urine flows directly into the front tank without any effort on your part. This tank then needs to be emptied after a few days.
For solid waste, the solids are collected in the rear container. In the basic version, you cover the waste with some bedding (e.g., sawdust) after each use to prevent odors. The composting version features an agitator that mixes the solids with plant fibers, which speeds up drying and extends the emptying intervals.
The system requires no water at all, is easy to use and ideal for self-sufficient travel!
How often do I need to empty my toilet?
How often do I need to empty my toilet?
How often you need to empty the composting toilet depends on the type and how often it is used.
- Urine tank: The urine tank typically holds about 10 liters. For two people, it should be emptied every 2-3 days. Emptying it is simple and can be done in a normal toilet.
- Solids container (basic version): In the basic version, where the solids are collected in a bag and covered with litter, the container should be emptied after about 3-5 days, as drying only takes place on the surface.
- Solid waste bin (compost version): The compost version allows for longer emptying intervals because the solids are mixed with plant fibers by the agitator. You can usually empty the bin after about 20-30 uses. If you also throw toilet paper into the solid waste bin, it will fill up a bit faster, but you can still expect around 25 uses before emptying is necessary.
How do I clean the urine tank?
How do I clean the urine tank?
Cleaning the urine tank of your composting toilet is simple and straightforward. After emptying it into a regular toilet, you can rinse the tank with water and dish soap to clean it. For a more thorough cleaning, it's recommended to occasionally add a mixture of water and a little citric acid to the tank to prevent limescale buildup. You can let the mixture soak for a few hours, or overnight, and then simply rinse the tank.

How do I flush a composting toilet?
How do I flush a composting toilet?
Rinsing is very easy: Simply use one of the two spray bottles included as accessories. After use, just spray the urinal with a little water to clean it. If desired, you can add citric acid or vinegar essence to the water to prevent limescale buildup and provide extra freshness. One bottle is sufficient for approximately 10 uses and is refillable.
You can also use the spray bottle as a bidet, depending on your personal preference.
