Description
WeCo Toilet innovates in the field of toilets and sanitation by offering the first autonomous toilets with recycled water flush. The user experiences a standard flushing toilet while profiting from a sustainable process that eliminates the waste of fresh, clean water for flushing.
The first target application is in public toilet facilities, but the solution can easily be adapted to alternative applications. Integration of solar PV on the roof fulfills the energy demands for the processing of the effluent. Training and connection to local service providers gives the expertise needed to maintain and service the operating unit.
Skills, services, products in the water sector
WeCo autonomous toilets use a novel dual-technology process to treat and recycle blackwater for flushing that eliminates the need for fresh water input and effluent sewer connections. Blackwater effluent is transformed into fresh water for recycling and natural fertilizer in an innovative and sustainable process. IoT allows remote monitoring and engagement with local services to manage and maintain the toilet. This innovative technology saves 97% of clean water for flushing the toilets.
Skills, services, products in the energy sector
WeCo toilets are incorporating solar energy sources into the design of the toilet block that can power the treatment reactor. The toilet block is thus autonomous from fresh water input, effluent sewer connections and the energy grid.
