Why don all composting toilets function well?
Due to single-compartment structures in some toilets, solid waste hasn’t had time to mature when it is time to empty the toilet. Raw, smelly waste must be stored in separate outdoor compost for 2-3 years prior to be used as fertiliser. Due to lacking ventilation and poor liquids removal one has to prinkle the toilet with bark or saw dust or other substances. Liquids are not biologically cleansed and can’t therefore be treated as normal household wastewater (grey waters). In some models liquids are evaporated by using electricity which consumes vast amounts of energy. The flies and other insects’ access to the toilet hasn’t been blocked; and additionally, the compostors often have holes and places where possible fly-eggs can’t be destroyed.
