As the Foundation&#8217;s video introduction (above) notes, the lack of sanitary means to handle human wastes sickens or kills many people in the developing world.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got the sanitation part down here in the US&#8230; but it comes at the expense of our water resources: even with the rise of low-flow and dual flush technologies, toilets are still the biggest water hogs in our houses. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/WaterSense\/pubs\/indoor.html\">EPA notes<\/a> that the toilet alone can be responsible for up to <strong>27%<\/strong> of our home&#8217;s water use.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how that compares to some other big users of water out there, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/egypt-water-nile-basin\/\">agriculture<\/a> and energy production, but it&#8217;s pretty clear there&#8217;s room for improvement on this front&#8230; and we don&#8217;t have to sacrifice sanitation to make those improvements. In addition to the water that goes down the drain (and, again, following with the Gates Foundation&#8217;s objectives), we&#8217;re also flushing a lot of useful material&#8230; yep, there&#8217;s energy and useful chemicals in those unmentionables.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the spirit of recognizing the flush toilet as a tremendous advance for its time, but one that&#8217;s prety limited in this day and age, I&#8217;d like to take a look at a number of waterless toilet technologies that already exist&#8230; and that also put our wastes to good use.<\/p>\n<h3>Humanure<\/h3>\n<p>This is about as basic as it gets: using a bucket for a toilet (and, yes, I&#8217;ve done this&#8230; it&#8217;s pretty standard up at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dancingrabbit.org\/\">Dancing Rabbit<\/a>). But that bucket is filled with sawdust (and you keep a bit more nearby for &#8220;flushing&#8221;), and when it&#8217;s full, you can add it to a compost pile or bin. Eventually, you&#8217;ve got garden fertilizer&#8230; which, yes, you can even use on edible plants.<\/p>\n<p>Despite what\u00a0Joseph Jenkins, the author of the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/humanurehandbook.com\/\">Humanure Handbook<\/a><\/em>, says, it does smell&#8230; not nearly as badly as you might think, but more than we pampered Americans want. But it&#8217;s also the cheapest and easiest way to completely cut the water use of a flush toilet, and &#8220;close the loop&#8221; on human waste. <em>Time<\/em> did <a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/magazine\/article\/0,9171,1945350,00.html\">a good overview<\/a> a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n<h3>The Composting Toilet<\/h3>\n<p>A step up from humanure, the self-contained composting toilet also turns wastes into useful food for soil&#8230; but doesn&#8217;t require regular hauling of a bucket outside. The phrase itself is a bit of a catch-all: their are various designs, and a number of different features that manufacturers may offer (including some that use a little water). All use aerobic decomposition to break down wastes (as well as toilet paper), and can hold and process wastes for months or even years.<\/p>\n<p>Downsides: first, they&#8217;re pricey. Second, you&#8217;ll still have some smell. And, finally, they do require more regular maintenance than they typical flush toilet. The EPA has a useful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/owm\/mtb\/comp.pdf\">fact sheet<\/a> on composting toilets.<\/p>\n<h3>Incinerating toilets<\/h3>\n<p>While this option is also water-free, and doesn&#8217;t have the smell issues associated with it, it&#8217;s got some definite disadvantages from a sustainability perspective. Obviously, to incinerate something, you need fuel: these toilets use electricity or gas to burn up the waste. \u00a0Secondly, there&#8217;s no real closed loop benefit: while its easy and safe to dispose of the ashes, the burning of the waste takes the nutrients with it. The EPA also has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/owm\/mtb\/incinera.pdf\">a fact sheet<\/a> on incinerating toilets.<\/p>\n<h3>The Methane Harvesting Toilet<\/h3>\n<p>This is a new one that I came across while searching for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sundancechannel.com\/sunfiltered\/2011\/05\/green-tech-finds-51211\/\">green tech finds<\/a> back in May. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loowatt.com\">Loowatt<\/a> (currently being tested in London) could be called a composting toilet, but it uses\u00a0anaerobic\u00a0digestion to harvest methane from human wastes that can then be burned like natural gas. Only disadvantage I can see right now is the need to empty the storage canister more frequently than a conventional composting toilet.<\/p>\n<h3>The Solar-Powered, Hydrogen Producing Toilet<\/h3>\n<p>OK, this one&#8217;s not waterless&#8230; but it does make much better use of water than the traditional toilet, and also produces energy. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/08\/14\/business\/toilet-technology-rethought-in-a-gates-foundation-contest.html?_r=1\">researchers developing it at Cal Tech<\/a> are among initial grant recipients from the Gates Foundation program, and it&#8217;s pretty easy to see why. Using solar power, the unit not only <a href=\"http:\/\/news.discovery.com\/tech\/bill-gates-seeks-reinvent-toilet-110816.html\">cleans the waste water<\/a> &#8220;up to the same level as would come out of a treatment plant,&#8221; (so it&#8217;s reusable) but also produces hydrogen from the waste itself.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot going on in this space, even before the Gateses started offering money&#8230; if you know of something I missed, either in use or in development, show me up in the comments.<\/p>\n<h3>Other World Water Week Posts from Important Media Sites<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/eatdrinkbetter.com\/2011\/08\/25\/world-without-fish-a-book-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">World Without Fish: A Book Review<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Eat Drink Better<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/eatdrinkbetter.com\/2011\/08\/25\/water-the-importance-of-hydration\/\">Water: The Importance of Hydration<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Eat Drink Better<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/greenlivingideas.com\/2011\/08\/25\/how-to-make-a-difference-during-world-water-week\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Make a Difference During World Water Week<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Green Living Ideas<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/insteading.com\/2011\/08\/25\/world-water-week-10-diy-conservation-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">World Water Week: 10 DIY Conservation Tips<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Insteading<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ecopreneurist.com\/2011\/08\/25\/this-world-water-week-help-charity-water-bring-clean-water-to-africa\/\" target=\"_blank\">This World Water Week Help Charity: Water Bring Clean Water To Africa<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Ecopreneurist<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2011\/08\/25\/world-water-week-let%e2%80%99s-drink-to-beauty\/\">World Water Week: Let\u2019s Drink to Beauty<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Feelgood Style<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/planetsave.com\/2011\/08\/26\/help-matt-damon-others-bring-water-to-more-people-for-life\/\" target=\"_blank\">Help Matt Damon &amp; Others Bring Water to More People\u2026For Life<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Planetsave<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2011\/08\/26\/10-water-saving-or-water-cleaning-technologies-your-chance-to-do-something\/\">10 Water-Saving or Water-Cleaning Technologies.. &amp; Your Chance to Do Something!<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 CleanTechnica<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Photo credit:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cod_gabriel\/5261564796\/in\/photostream\/\">cod_gabriel at Flickr<\/a> under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/deed.en\">Creative Commons license<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is sustainablog&#8217;s contribution to Important Media&#8217;s celebration of World Water Week.
