1. BIO-TOILETS
Bringing Sanitation to India and Beyond
Bio-Digester for Single Families & Communities

2. Sanitation facilities in India are alarmingly poor with over 600
million people having no access to toilets. People are forced to
defecate in the open. This practice poses health hazards,
raises environmental concerns and leads to water
contamination.
BIO-TOILETS

3. DRDO, an Indian defense R&D
body, developed the patented
bio-digester technology – a set
of bacteria that “eat away”
human faeces. Human waste is
treated on-site in a green way,
using naturally inoculated
bacterial culture, which does not
require any external energy or
removal of sludge. The system
gives out re-usable water and
utilizable biogas.
It is maintenance-free and highly
customizable. Bioloos are
independent units and can cater
to single families to large
communities.
Bioloo provides a toilet and the
“on-site” waste treatment facility.
This ensures that the household
is not dependent on external
infrastructure for waste
transportation and treatment.
