The lid is fixed by holding magnets, which ensure that the separation toilet always remains well closed.

How does a composting toilet work?

The inner workings of a composting toilet essentially consist of three parts: separator, urine canister and solids container. The separator leads the urine into the canister, while the solids end up in a bucket with a compost bag. You can also read a more detailed version in our blog post here.

What should I pay attention to when using it?

The correct sitting position is crucial for the best possible function of a composting toilet. For anatomical reasons, this differs for women and men. 

Why does a composting toilet not smell?

Odors are caused by the mixing of solids and liquids. Separating the excreta and then drying the solids prevents undesirable aromas. 

Do I have to change/empty the plastic bag after each use?

No! The whole point of using litter as a cover material to dry out the poo is that you can use the bag for several days and only empty it once full enough. Depending on the size, the bags hold between 3 and 12 number 2s.

Where can I get the litter / cover material to dry the solids?

You will be able to buy litter from us some time early next year. Until then or otherwise you can also buy good litter material from any garden or home improvement store. Find more info on our blog post about litter here.

Do I need a fan?

For other types of toilets, you might think about using a fan to counteract condensation, which accelerates the drying process of the solids and ensures that fragrances quickly dissolve into thin air. This is not necessary for your Trelino® because you would use a litter material after each use which dries out the solids and removes the smell. On top of that, the emptying cycles are quite frequent so you can very quickly dispose of your bag.

What happens when I have diarrhea?

Diarrhea is not a problem when using a composting toilet. Just use more litter to compensate for the liquid.

Where do I dispose of the contents?

Urine can easily be disposed of in a toilet connected to the sewer system. Diluted, it is also suitable as fertilizer for the home garden or the raised bed on the balcony. The bag with the solids is a case for the residual waste garbage can. Conditionally, composting is also possible. The urine canister and solids container can be emptied independently of each other.

Plastic bags and composting - how do they fit together?

For us, sustainability and environmental awareness do not end with disposal - we think beyond the garbage can. That's why we use renewable, organic materials for our solid bags that can be easily composted.

How do I clean a composting toilet?

Cleaning a composting toilet is as simple as its use. The household remedy diluted vinegar concentrate has proven its worth for most of the cleaning. Read more about it in our blog post here.

What makes Trelino® so special?

Trelino® is a quality product designed to last. A high-quality composting toilet that will accompany you for many years and makes a statement against the throwaway culture. In addition, Trelino® combines optimal functionality, ease of use and high comfort behind a unique design.

Honestly, so great lol

I have been using my Trelino for a week in my house in the lead up to installing it in the van. I set aside that time to get used to it before taking it on the road, but honestly it took hardly any time. The tips for using it as a woman in their blog really helped. At first, aim was tricky but sitting up straight and tilting my pelvis (popping that booty lol) has eliminated any pee splashing into the back. The only litter material I could find at my nearest pet store was bedding for small animals made of recycled paper, baking soda and zeolite. Right now, the Trelino has about 3 days worth of poop in it and it does not smell of poop at all which really amazes me. They mean it when it doesn't smell. Though, because the poop doesn't land in water, you can't really sit on the Trelino and scroll on your phone without things getting smelly hahah you gotta get up and cover that poop as soon as you can to prevent smells. I really like The Origin's wooden lid, it makes the whole unit look really slick and understated. It also doubles as a great little seat in my low-roof van. One thing I don't like about the design is that the mouth of the pee container makes it hard to completely empty. Theres no real spout that direct all the pee out. You can shake it out, but that makes a mess. I have considered packing a small shake-to-start siphon in my toilet kit to really get it all out. If there was a redesigned bottle with cap on a corner at the top or something to make fully emptying the container easier, I'd give it 5 stars.

Working as designed

I wasn’t sure that simple sawdust would work to mitigate odor, but it seems to work just fine. I’ve only used it a few times for number two, but it’s very easy to empty. I do think the valve comes out rather easily when cleaning but overall pleased.
