EcoToiletten

EcoToiletten is a German toilet operator and maintainer that supplies self-sufficient, stationary and mobile sanitation facilities for cities, municipalities and events. The company positions itself as an alternative to conventional public toilet providers by offering ecological, waterless and chemical-free toilets. Instead of flushing with water and using chemicals, EcoToiletten uses a separation conveyor belt and other technologies to compost faeces into fertile compost soil in licensed composting facilities. The toilets require no foundation and avoid soil sealing, and the company states that they smell pleasantly of wood rather than chemicals. The company offers a range of products from mobile toilets to robust city toilets, along with services such as regular maintenance, cleaning and tank emptying. It also offers leasing options so that customers can use the toilets for a defined period without high upfront costs. EcoToiletten emphasises that its autonomous operation makes it far cheaper than conventional providers without compromising comfort. EcoToiletten's stated vision is to implement an ecological and climate-neutral circular economy together with people worldwide, living in harmony with nature and protecting it for future generations. Its mission is to build sustainable and free EcoToiletten for all people who currently lack access to public and clean toilets. The company sees faeces as a valuable resource that can be composted into precious soil, contributing to environmental protection and drinking water protection. It supports the non-profit association Non-Water Sanitation e.V. in projects in South Asia, drawing attention to the fact that over one billion people worldwide lack access to toilets. The company's story began after a sanitation project in a village in South Asia with the association Non-Water Sanitation in 2012, when the founders considered how to transfer the approach to other contexts. EcoToiletten is based in Germany and operates primarily in the German market, with references including Berlin park toilets. The company is privately held and active.

EcoToiletten's origins trace back to 2012, when the team behind the company took part in a sanitation project in a village in South Asia together with the association Non-Water Sanitation. After that project, they considered how the approach could be adapted and scaled to other contexts. This led to the development of EcoToiletten as a provider of self-sufficient, ecological public toilets. The company's core innovation is a waterless, chemical-free toilet system that uses a separation conveyor belt and other technologies to compost faeces into fertile compost soil in licensed composting facilities. The toilets require no foundation and avoid soil sealing, and the company states that they smell pleasantly of wood rather than chemicals. EcoToiletten offers both stationary toilets for cities and municipalities and mobile toilets for events, along with services such as cleaning, maintenance and tank emptying. Customers can also lease the toilets for a defined period. EcoToiletten has established references including Berlin park toilets, indicating operations in the German market. The company supports the non-profit association Non-Water Sanitation e.V. in projects in South Asia and uses its toilets to raise awareness that over one billion people worldwide lack access to toilets. Its stated vision is to implement an ecological and climate-neutral circular economy together with people worldwide, and its mission is to build sustainable and free EcoToiletten for all people who lack access to public and clean toilets. The company is privately held and active.
