Composting Toilet
A toilet that uses biological processes to convert human excrement into organic compost material. These toilets come in several different types and are sometimes called dry toilets, biological toilets or waterless toilets. They do not use water to flush away waste, but instead rely on aerobic bacteria and fungi to break down the waste, in the same way yard waste turns to compost in a compost bin.
