Why separation?

Effective waste separation is the foundation of successful composting. Separation keeps liquids and solid waste apart, which reduces odour and improves composting.

Up to 80% of toilet odour can be eliminated by separating liquids from solid waste. This is especially important in locations without water or sewage.
