SavvyLoo Wireless Toilets for Rural Areas

New Toilet Separates Liquids from Solids to Improve Environmental Impact,Decreases the Potential for Disease and Reduces Odour

Innovator Dr. Dudley Jackson developed a waterless toilet for rural areas and temporary settlements that separates liquids from solids to improve environmental impact, decrease the potential for disease, reduce odour and ensure easier removal. SavvyLoo is self-contained, pedal operated, easy to assemble and easy to use and keep clean - a sustainable alternative to polluting water through waterborne sanitation and pit latrines - designed as temporary toilets.

SavvyLoo was developed in response to the need for innovative sanitation solutions across Africa. Features include urine diversion, separation of diarrhoeic and other liquids into a liquids sump, and desiccation of solid waste using solar heat and continuous airflow which aids the drying process, eradication of pathogens and odours. The dry inert faecal waste may be used with nitrates as organic compost or to produce energy through a biogases process.
