"Composting can reduce our overall waste stream by almost 1/4. Yard waste (13%) and food waste (10%) make up the second and third highest amounts of waste going into our landfills." - EPA, 1996

Clivus Composting Toilets and Greywater Systems offer economical, sustainable solutions for any public or residential need, in virtually any climate and setting.

Conventional plumbing requires vast quantities of water to transport human waste. A Clivus needs only a very small amount of water to maintain optimal composting conditions. Conventional waste treatment creates pollution and toxic by-products. A Clivus creates safe, natural, composted fertilizers.

With the Clivus' "zero-discharge" system, human waste never enters a sewer, septic tank or leach field. Instead, waste undergoes a completely natural decomposition process that renders it safe and ready to reuse as rich fertilizers. Greywater (non-toilet water) is safely managed on-site to reclaim nutrients and water to irrigate and fertilize plants, trees, shrubs, and ornamentals.(Source: http://www.clivusmultrum.com)
