Barely-there Biffy

Iota is an ingenious solution that not only uses considerably less water than standard toilets, but even has a smaller physical footprint in the bathroom! The magic is in a folding mechanism that makes it just a third the size of a standard toilet! Watch it almost disappear!

The folding bowl houses a built-in U bend that disengages from the waste pipe whilst still maintaining an air tight seal. When closed in the flush position, the U bend reengages simultaneously when the cistern flushes. A current standard toilet uses 6 liters of water on ever flush while Iota only uses 2.5 liters. That’s more than 50% less!

Contribute your pee to compost! (Seriously)

L’uritonnoir is, quite simply, a hybrid of two everyday products: the urinal & the funnel (literally in French, “urinnoir” and “entonnoir”). It was designed primarily for use in public spaces like music festivals or carnivals where units can be placed on round bales of straw. The device funnels urine into the bale which is then removed & converted to compost after 6-8 months due to the chemical reaction of carbon (straw) & nitrogen (urine). Not for the pee-shy, but still cleaner & greener than a porta-potty!
