Composting toilets are relatively unknown in PNG but are commonly seen around the world. In drought-affected countries like Australia, even urban households are installing composting toilets to avoid nasty water bills and lower their impact on the planet.
For example, Ecoflo's Clivus Multrum design has been capturing, treating toilet waste, keeping us safe and protecting the planet for more than 50 years. With credentials proven by half a century of use, only Ecoflo toilets are rated to the highest SAI Global Australia/NZ standards.
That makes Ecoflo the low-risk option, perfect choice in the challenging PNG conditions.
High temperatures
Proximity to the equator means PNG provides ideal conditions to ensure the composting process works is the most efficient it can be!
Hard to dig terrain
As Ecoflo tanks sit above the ground, no digging is required. They are perfect for soil is hard rock or limestone.
High water tables
Inground water supplies are often last resort during droughts. For this reason, pit toilets are not an option for PNGs many coastal and island regions facing high water tables. By containing and treating toilet waste, Ecoflo protects critical in groundwater supplies.
Environmental pollution
In PNG the four most commonly used toilets are septic; sea-closet; pit toilets and bushes or mangroves. As 85% of PNG live in remote rural settings which lack waste treatment facilities, just about every call of nature in PNG each day discharges disease-causing bacteria directly into pristine, local environments.
So, you see, it turns out septic toilets are really no better than a bush or mangrove!
Tourist-ready
To become a world-leading tourist destination, PNG needs hygienic, easy to use toilets that don't cause disease and that protect PNG's abundantly rich, diverse natural environment. At Ecoflo, we are ready to help.
Expensive water storage
Ecoflo toilets are water-free.
