A composting toilet is a type of toilet that uses natural processes to break down human waste into compost. Instead of using water to flush waste away, it collects it in a container where aerobic bacteria and other microorganisms decompose the material. This process reduces odors and transforms waste into a nutrient-rich compost that can be safely used in gardening. These toilets are often used in areas without access to traditional plumbing or in eco-friendly homes. They help conserve water and reduce the environmental impact of sewage systems. Composting toilets can be a sustainable solution for waste management.
