what will happen to the bags after they are used ? are they more landfill of possibly contaminating plastic ? or worse will the plastic end up in the waterways and the oceans ? do they use polluting chemicals or does the disposal have any adverse effects on the ecology even more so than ordinary plastic waste because of it's special properties ? Lots of questions

Hey Kris, that does look interesting, costings need to be reasonable though for it to take off Phil That was the problem I encountered with my directional launching smartphone app powered instant freeze mortar toilet. The "out of shite out of mind bog". Startup costs were too high for it to take off as you put it. Of course there was some interest from people with grudges to fire their waste into other people's backyards but the extra circuitry and radar/GPS guidance system required for square metre accuracy was going to really cost shitloads of money! I still fancy it as a project though.

It seems like they're targeting developing nations rather than all and sundry. www.change-water.com/Still, I reckon I'm going to email them and see if it's something they plan to offer out to others. If they could charge it at a price that appeals to boaters plus puts some money in the coffers to get these installed in the developing nations, they might be on to something.

And there I was thinking that people in developing nations had figured out ways to deal with their crap. Its not exactly a new development people have been doing it for a long time.

Depends what you mean by "developing" acess to good sanitation is an important issue. Whilst shitting on the land is giving it back to nature , doing it indiscriminately leads to alsorts of issues. Although personally I think this toilet is good for some situations, John has raised some of the issues with it.composting when done properly has got to be better for the planet in the long term. No landfill, putting nutrients back into the soil Leading to decreased dependence of chemical fertiliser.win win win, what's not to like?oh yes they don't flush and most people are addicted to fly suing toilets.

I don't understand why people are so anti landfill. Everything humans make comes from the earth originally anyway. There is nothing else other than occasional space rocks. We dig it out by mining, use it then put it back under the ground for nature to break down.
Where is the problem?

It's a question of space, we would soon runout of land to grow food on,or to live on and hopefully we will able to keep some wilderness on this planet.

In the meantime while we're waiting for that to break down, we're adding to the pile.

I saw something in the last few months where they can break plastic back down into "oil" , cooked under pressure at 500c, any plastics can be used. The unit was transportable, the size of a container. The gloop at the end of the process can then be reused/reformed.
